Use part of a photo in PPT 2013 (4), adjusted background image

In my last article I explained how to use the background image of a slide to create a new image. Unfortunately you can run into problems with this method. Below you will find an example of a picture of a bench with seaview. When using this picture as a background part of the bench is just missing.

Luckily we can do something about that.

Right-click the picture and choose Format background.

In the dialog we need to move the photo upwards, so all we need to do is to set the Offset bottom
to 0%.

Now that we have the whole bench visible we can draw a shape and let it follow the background.
