Convert Picture to Grayscale, Black and White, or Washed Out SUMMARY: Change a picture's colors in PowerPoint 2003.
After inserting a picture into a Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 presentation, you may find that the image color scheme should be changed. If the presentation is to be printed on a monochrome printer, you may wish to convert the picture to black and white or grayscale. Or, perhaps the graphic sticks out too much from the presentation and the graphic's colors should appear "washed out".
You can make these basic color scheme changes in PowerPoint 2003 without having to load an external picture editor.
