Modern interactive technologies cannot do without various images. Presentations, reports, slide shows require not only diagrams and photographs, but also an appropriate background theme.
Programs for editing bitmap images have many functions with which you can prepare a beautiful background for the slide, not only for presentation, but also for various types of photo shows. Such functionality is available both in free access on the Internet and as a program installed on a personal computer.

The presentation is a structured basis for a subsequent public appearance or business presentation. It can contain digital or other information that will be shown as the result of work in any field. But no one will be interested in a boring white speech, therefore, in addition to specific information, it must be prepared aesthetically correctly. And the bottom layer of the frame, used as the background for the slide, can quite cope with this task. The task of a fake image is to brighten up boring data and arouse public interest in harmoniously designed data.
The product software contains the necessary functionality for preparing the simplest substrate. Artistic effects will help create an image in a few clicks, among them we can distinguish the following:
- Fill with color.
- Blur
- Gradient overlay.
- Texture mapping
These effects can be found in the tab "Format" - "Background". The pop-up box immediately allows you to change the color palette of the initial presentation template. Sometimes it’s enough to just replace the tone in the finished template, but in some situations it’s worth using editing the finished image.
In addition, the program allows you to insert your image as the bottom of the slide, or use templates that are also easily edited using various actions.

The professional functionality of the program allows not only to make a background for the slide, but also to qualitatively prepare any image for a photo show. Just go to the "Filter" tab, and immediately a large number of effects are opened, with which the task - how to make a slide background - is solved quickly and without any problems. Even without a special education, any person can very well cope with such a task.
In addition, the program allows you to reduce the resolution of the image to the desired size. As a rule, these drawings are no more than 1074 by 768 pixels for showing photos in film mode and 800 by 600 pixels for presentations. Pictures with high resolution may not display correctly or only in a separate part, in addition, the use of such materials significantly increases the total weight of the result.
Secrets of a Good Choice
- The background for the slide show, as well as for the presentation, should not contain massive images, it is better to choose a picture with a lot of monophonic space.
- The simplicity of pictures for presentations will allow you to harmoniously place text information in accordance with the required requirements.
- Pastel colors of the image will not distract the eye from the desired inserts.
- Artistic effects for the drawing also should not be too harsh. Otherwise, the text will simply flicker on such a backing, which is too annoying to the audience.
- It is necessary to immediately determine the tone of the picture, and already adjust the color of the text for it. The blue color of the text on a purple tone may look defiant.
- The abuse of effects leads to the fact that the audience simply does not accept the product presented in the material, even despite voiced comments on the performance.
- The background for the slide is selected immediately for the entire presentation, but if desired, any image can be superimposed on top. It should be noted that the overall impression of viewing immediately changes. Thus, it is possible to distinguish the main or secondary part of the material.
