fading logo

Rate this Message:
Dear Beamer Experts,
I'm preparing a beamer style to be used in my lab. The idea is to have the lab logo in the bottom right corner. The logo is in TiKZ and I include it as a pdf through \includegraphics in my outer theme. The problem is that the logo's colors are too vivid and when some text finish above the logo is quite unreadable. I'd like to fade it to a sort of watermark but I don't know how to get the effect without using gimp or similar. Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance for the help Walter -- Walter Cazzola, PhD - Assistant Professor, DICo, University of Milano E-mail cazzola@...

Dear Kjell,
thanks for your prompt reply, I haven't considered to change (or produce two versions of) my logo since I want to include it as a pdf. Does The colormixin environment work with images (pdf) included via \includegraphics?

A workaround is to use transparency: ... \node[opacity=0.5] {\includegraphics{logo}}; .. This will work, but not all PDF viewers handle transparency correctly. Creating a separate dimmed version of the logo is probably safer. - Kjell Magne > Walter > > On Thu, 6 Aug 2009, Kjell Magne Fauske wrote: > >> On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 12:07 AM, Walter Cazzola<cazzola@...> >> wrote: >>> >>> Dear Beamer Experts, >>> I'm preparing a beamer style to be used in my lab. >>> >>> The idea is to have the lab logo in the bottom right corner.
