PowerPoint 2007 image effects
PowerPoint 2007 has a collection of shape effects that can be used with Perspector images. Below are the 3 effects that work really well with Perspector. To apply these, select your image and click Shape Effects on the Home ribbon in PowerPoint 2007:
 Note
that if you edit or update the Perspector image after applying a shape
effect, the effect will be lost. Fortunately it only takes 2 or 3
clicks to apply the effect again.
ReflectionThe following image was achieved by using the Full Reflection shape effect.
 GlowThis is an example of the Glow effect.
 ShadowHere a Shadow effect has been applied. This uses the Perspective Diagonal Lower Left option to match the position of the light source used in the Perspector image, but other options are available.
 We
would like to thank Perspector user David Wigston for bringing this
effect to our attention. You can see how he used this effect in his
presentation in our Community Gallery.
New presentation in the Community Gallery
Our
Community Gallery contains examples of our users' presentations. The
latest contribution is from David Wigston, Senior Lecturer in the
Department of Communication Science at the University of South Africa.
David
has used the shadow effect illustrated the above. He has also used a
color gradient on one of the central Perspector shape. Read how to do this.
If you have a presentation you would like to share - please let us know. |
