See how to add a picture watermark behind text. But this time, instead of putting it on the slide master, we'll add it to the slide itself, and then, copy it to another slide.

Add a picture watermark

  1. Click VIEW > Slide Master.

  2. In Slide Master view, in the thumbnail pane on the left, click the slide layout(s) where you want to add a picture watermark.

  3. Right-click the slide and click Format Background.

  4. In the Format Background pane on the right, click Picture or Texture Fill, and under Insert picture from, click an option.

  5. In the Format Background pane, slide the Transparency bar to the right to set the transparency percentage.

  6. To apply the watermark to all the slides in the presentation, in the Format Background pane, click Apply to all.

  7. On the SLIDE MASTER tab, click Close Master View.
