Powerpoint Backgrounds - Free Quality Images

  • Thread starter Monique
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation revolved around finding nice powerpoint backgrounds, with suggestions to make one using Photoshop or Microsoft Paint. It was mentioned that there aren't many high-quality backgrounds available online, and one person shared their experience of creating a background by editing a grayscale image. However, there was concern about using copyrighted images in a professional setting.

I agree with Grimmus here. There aren't many nice backgrounds posted on the web. If there are, they are watermarked heavily.

Make one, I did that before with the powerpoint color scheme mixing, but how can you do it in paint or photoshop??

What I actually did yesterday is take an MRI of an intracranial aneurysm from the web, which is grayscale, change the color balance so that it became blue and wash it out which makes a nice background. The only problem is I guess, that I probably am not allowed to use that in a big meeting since it is not my image. Right?
