Perspector 3.1.1: PNG pictures in 3D

By Tim Hards | May 18, 2007

We have just released Perspector 3.1.1. This minor update now allows PNG pictures to be inserted!

Also if any inserted picture has transparent areas, these are kept (unfortunately this doesn’t work with PowerPoint 2000 – those areas still go black).

Here you can see a clip art PNG picture used with the Free-Floating layout that is available with Professional Edition. Because the placeholders for the picture are already positioned, this image took 1 minute to create. Without layouts it is still possible to create the image, but it will take a little longer because the pictures have to be manually placed.
