Blur Effect PPT 2007

Apr 18, 2011

If you read Jeanette Brook's post showing you the blur effect in her CNN- Q & A Style template using PPT 2010, then I'm sure this has inspired you to find a way to use this in your courses! I have PPT 2007 and cannot download any programs to my computer at work so I was forced to search for answers and I think I may have a workaround to use the idea in a future course! Oh, happy day!

1. INSERT YOUR IMAGE

2. Click image.

3. Click Picture Tools Ribbon>Format>Picture Effects>Soft Edges> 50 point

Now add an overlay to picture to blur even more and soften the darkness of the image.

4. Click Insert Ribbon>Shapes>Rounded Rectangle

5. Place it over the image.

Once the overlay is inserted,

6. Right click>Format Picture

DETAILS

Fill=WHITE, BACKGOUND 1

59% TRANSPERANCY

Line Color=NO FILL

Here's the end result!

You can select the images, group, then as save picture as!

If you cannot install software on your machine, here is an online image editor with blur effect http://www.lunapic.com/editor/?

Also you can run GIMP from a memory stick

Hi Tekeya,

That's awesome that you found a way around it! Way to go.I cannot find the video where Jeanette demonstrates the blurring effects. Can someone guide me there?

Thanks all,

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for sending the link. The video ends where she says that there's another tutorial video to show the blurring effect. i cannot find the second video.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Ah, I see what you mean. I am not sure where that may be either and my searching skills are failing me right now. I'll reach out to the community team to see if they can point you in the right direction Jigme.

I searched for it too but could not find it. I'll give this thing called YouTube a try! Thanks again
