Customize an Image With Recolor

03/10/10 | by Troy Chollar [mail] | Categories: Tutorial, Portfolio

The recolor feature (FORMAT >> RECOLOR) can customize an image, saving a trip to Photoshop. For this presentation I needed to use the same content in 3 color coded sections. Once the funnel image was optimized and saved from Photoshop as a .png with no background I was able to do the rest in PowerPoint. Here is my original, simple greyscale funnel.

And here the funnel on 3 slides - no grey.

The funnel image used the custom color recolor:

The bars use a 2 color gradient fill with just color 1 adjusted (color 2 = white and 100% transparent).

Download the sample presentation to see the recolor tool in use (129K). Note: if your browser changes downloaded file to".zip" rename to ".pptx".

I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis and I am very honored to be a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP. ThePowerPointBlog focuses on PowerPoint and multimedia development, all of which is hopefully helpful, fun, and at times entertaining. Enjoy!
