How to Make a Picture Black and White in PowerPoint: Quick Guide

Turning a color picture to black and white in PowerPoint can seem tricky, but trust me, it’s a breeze. As fellow Microsoft PowerPoint enthusiasts, we’ve all been there—prepping a deck and realizing that a black and white image adds that perfect touch of elegance and clarity. To make a picture black and white, simply select the image, navigate to the ‘Format’ tab, click ‘Color,’ and choose ‘Saturation 0%. This little tweak instantly transforms the mood of your slide.

Why stop at color adjustments when we can create stunning visual presentations that speak volumes? A black and white image isn’t just about removing colors; it’s about focusing on details, contrasts, and the essence of the imagery. In our day-to-day use, this feature has saved us countless times when color clashes or distracts from the core message of the presentation.

Remember that our presentations reflect our creativity and technical prowess. Whether it’s a corporate report or a school project, utilizing tools like color adjustments can significantly elevate our presentations. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of it—because adding that touch of classic black and white may be the exact touch your presentation needs.

Crafting Visually Impactful Presentations in PowerPoint

To create engaging PowerPoint presentations, focusing on visual impact is key. Selecting the right images and understanding picture formats can dramatically enhance the quality and effectiveness of your slides.

Selecting the Right Images

Choosing the perfect images involves more than just picking visually appealing photos. Aim for high-resolution images to ensure they look good on the big screen. Consider the relevance of the image to the content being presented—does it add value or clarify a point?

Using stock images can provide a professional veneer without the hassle of creating custom visuals. PowerPoint’s built-in stock image library, accessible through the Insert Tab , offers a plethora of options. Always remember to balance the visual elements with your content to avoid distracting the audience.

Understanding Picture Formats

Knowing the different picture formats can help maintain the quality and performance of your presentation. Common formats include JPEG, PNG, and GIF .

• JPEG : Great for photographs due to small file size, but it sacrifices some quality.
• PNG : Ideal for graphics with transparent backgrounds and better quality.
• GIF : Suitable for simple graphics and animations, but limited in color.

Managing file size is essential for smooth performance, especially in large presentations. Compressing images within PowerPoint can save space without significant loss of quality.

Understanding these formats and their uses helps us make our presentations not only visually attractive but also technically sound and efficient.

Enhancing Images for Clarity and Style

Improving the clarity and style of images in PowerPoint involves tweaks to color, saturation, grayscale, and transparency. These adjustments can make images stand out or blend seamlessly with your slide’s theme.

Adjusting Color and Saturation

Color and saturation control the vividness and life of an image. By tweaking these settings, we can make our presentations visually captivating.

Use the Adjust tool to access Color Options . Increase brightness to add light or adjust contrast to enhance the depth between light and dark. To boost color intensity, saturation settings can be adjusted.

Here’s a step-by-step:

• Select the image.
• Go to the Format tab.
• Choose Color or Corrections .
• Use sliders for Color Intensity and Saturation .

Small adjustments can bring significant results, making images pop or creating a subdued look that matches our theme perfectly.

Applying Grayscale and Transparency

Using grayscale adds a classic, timeless quality. It simplifies the image, removing color distractions and focusing on form and texture.

For transparency adjustments:

• Click on the Format tab.
• Choose Color and select Grayscale .

Transparency helps blend an image with the background, useful for layered objects or a subtle look.

Adjust transparency:

• Open Transparency settings.
• Use the slider to your preferred level.

Balancing grayscale and transparency helps create a cohesive, visually appealing presentation. It’s about enhancing clarity and integrating style seamlessly.

Advanced Picture Formatting Techniques

In this guide, we’ll cover the essential features and techniques to enhance your pictures in PowerPoint. Let’s dive into key tools you can utilize to maximize the visual impact of your images.

Working with the Format Tab

The Format Tab is our central hub for adjusting pictures. Once we select an image, this tab appears on the ribbon, offering a range of options.

One critical tool available is Picture Effects . This feature allows us to apply shadows, reflections, glows, and other visual enhancements that make our images pop. Adjusting these effects is straightforward; simply click the Picture Effects button and choose the effect you want.

Moreover, the Color and Corrections buttons enable fine-tuning of brightness, contrast, and color saturation. Color correction ensures our images appear as vibrant or as muted as needed . For instance, Saturation 0% can be used to convert an image to black and white, providing a classic look.

Customizing Picture Style and Corrections

Customizing our picture styles provides a professional touch. We can access various Picture Styles in the format tab which include pre-set borders, effects, and shapes. These styles add consistency across all the images in our presentation.

Picture Corrections help perfect our images. Tweaking Sharpness , Brightness , and Contrast are critical steps. A slight increase in sharpness can bring out details, while adjusting brightness can ensure that the image is not too dark or washed out.

For a more tailored look, we can choose Custom Corrections by selecting Format Picture. This feature allows for more granular control over corrections, including specific adjustments to transparency and soft edges, enabling us to fine-tune every aspect of our images.

By experimenting with these advanced techniques, we ensure our presentations are visually compelling and engaging.

Converting Images to Black and White

Transforming a color picture into black and white in PowerPoint enhances its visual appeal by focusing on contrasts and details.

Step-By-Step Guide to Black and White Conversion

First, let’s insert the image we want to convert. We need to choose the slide where the picture will be placed. Go to the Insert tab and click on Pictures to upload the desired image from our computer.

Once the image is inserted, we select it and switch to the Format tab on the Ribbon. Here, we locate the Color button and click it. A drop-down menu appears, offering various options for color adjustments. To make the image grayscale, we select the Saturation 0% option under the Color Saturation group.

This action instantly turns the picture into a black-and-white image. It’s important to adjust the brightness and contrast if necessary to achieve the best results. Sometimes, a slight tweak can make the black-and-white picture stand out even more.

How to Revert Color Pictures to Black and White

If we ever need to convert an already inserted picture to black and white, the process is straightforward. First, we click on the image in the slide to select it. This action brings up the Format tab.

On the Format tab, there’s a Color button that we need to click. In the menu that appears, we navigate to the Color Saturation section and select Saturation 0% . This step changes our image to black and white, highlighting all the important aspects without the distraction of color.

If we want to change the image back to its original colored state in the future, selecting the Reset Picture option in the Format tab’s Adjust group will do the trick. It’s a handy way to switch between colorful and grayscale images as needed.

My eyesight is poor and the ChatGPT bot does not present code examples (for programming or server setup queries) in a format that I can read. I need these examples typed out in black text on white background. How do I change these outputs to suit my disability?

Use a userscript or a CSS editing browser extension to change it to your liking.

Personally, I can recommend StyleBot as it is in active development and is open source,

Here is the CSS for the a11y-light theme for highlight.js which is the library OpenAI uses for code highlighting on https://chatgpt.com .

I’ve added the font-size:large instruction since you said you needed this for eyesight reasons.

All you need to do is install the extension, go to https://chatgpt.com , open StyleBot by clicking on the extension icon, and paste in the above stylesheet to change the look of the code blocks in ChatGPT.

If you want to explore what other styles look like you can view them on the highlight.js demo page,

The CSS code for (many but not all of) the styles can be found at the highlight.js GitHub repository,

I hope this helps make ChatGPT more accessible for you!

Tried Stylebot but a) that style sheet did not work and b) it slowed my browser down too much. Now removed. Will go on looking for a better and efficient solution.
