I recently wrote about a problem I am having with PPT 2007 using customized
placeholders. The placeholders, when a bevel is applied, degrade the quality of the image inside. See: http://fleetingglimpseimages.wordpre...e-placeholder/ Has this been reported yet? Does anyone have a workaround? Rikk |

Hi Rikk, I'm seeing a very subtle degradation of images when I apply a bevel (this is on straight pictures, not placeholders). Can you describe the exact steps you used to customize the placeholder so anyone who's interested can try to repro the same effect? ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/ |

PPT 07
New File: Slide Master Select Content Placeholder Double Click to bring Up Format Tab Apply Shape Effects: Bevel : Choose your poison Close Master View New slide Layout : Chose the slide with your modified Content Placeholder. Insert Picture into Content Placeholder. Comes in Beveled as expected. Insert Picture without placeholder: Compare. Picture not in placeholder is sharper-even in center far from bevel effects. Bevel should not be affecting anything but pixels adjacent to the effect. Rikk been reported yet? Does anyone have a workaround? [..] |

How'd you insert the picture into the placeholder, Rikk? Are you filling the
placeholder, or are you clicking the picture icon in the content placeholder? It's a content placeholder, not a picture placeholder, right? (Just checking.) Asking because I wonder if it's blurred because of aspect ratio issues. Still need to run through the steps and repro here.... |

I even inserted a new layout, added a content placeholder and tried with it. SameSame.

Using content placeholder on either the slide master or layout works fine. You won't see the beveled effects until you add the picture. 2007 SP1 here, too. |

Yeah, sure.
I checked here, and, while I can add a bevel effect to the placeholder just fine, I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference between the placeholder pix with bevel and the regular pix. (Forgot to try the regular pix with a bevel added.) I think it's the pix I'm working with, probably. |
