Set the slide background

You can set slide background colors or use a background image throughout an entire slide show. If all the background options are deselected, the slide background is black.

Add a background

  1. In the Template Browser, select any slide show template except Crop To Fill.
  2. In the Backdrop panel, select any combination of the following options:
    Color Wash
    Applies a gradient wash color on top of the background color and background image. The gradient transitions from the background color to the color you set in the color box on the right (see below).

    Background Image
    Uses an image that you drag from the Filmstrip into the background of the slide. Use the Opacity slider to adjust the image’s transparency and partially show the background color.

    Background Color
    Uses the background color you specify. Click the color box on the right to select a color from the color pop-up window.

Add a color wash to a slide background

  1. In the Backdrop panel of the Slideshow module, select Color Wash.
  2. Click the color box on the right and select a color from the color pop-up window.
  3. Specify the appearance of the color:
    Opacity
    Sets the opaqueness or transparency of the color wash overlay.

    Angle
    Sets the direction of the gradient transition of the background color or background image to the color wash. Turn the Angle dial, move the slider, or enter a value in degrees.
