Blend white background of inserted object to match slide background

[Guest]

I have a signature that has been scanned in jpg format. When I insert that signature onto my slide (that has a certificate background in weird colors), the box containing the signature is white. How do I get the certificate background to show through the white while leaving the signature in tact?

You need to change the image file to a file type that will allow transparent
Backgrounds, like GIF for example

BC,

Have a read of this tutorial, it explains how to remove the white area. Although the method may not work with JPG files
very well.
