Opazity Plug-in

From Interactive Presentation Made Easy 30 April 2008
...PowerPoint 2007 surprisingly, even with all its fabulous new graphical effects, does not provide a way of blurring imagery...

Opazity: PowerPoint for Lazy People

Here is a short extract from an informative review in InformIT 4 April 2008

"What I like about the Opazity web site is that it provides short video tutorials on specific tasks that can be done with Opazity that will stimulate your own creativity.

For example, by simply placing text, like the title of the presentation over the AutoShape with the effect, and placing both over the image to be revealed, you can get a very nice opening sequence by giving the AutoShape a slow Exit Fade animation.

Again, you could have done the same thing by reading a PowerPoint Tips and Tricks book — one way would be by creating two identical slides — one with the photo blurred or transparent and the other with it clear, and putting a Transition effect in between.

But this is a good deal easier and requires less thinking.

When you consider that you can try Opazity for free and buy it for $47 the ease on wear and tear on your noodle is palpable."

It's amazing...

  "The new versions of PowerPoint seem to have everything apart from the kitchen sink – but yet, it's amazing to see vendors create small add-ins that provide an impressive capability that PowerPoint lacks."
