Hi could someone show how write words on a picture: i. how insert photo from my files?
ii. how "lighten" photo so text on top will be clearly readable?
iii. how write on top of picture, like this cool guy does in the top two slides http://technology.chtsai.org/impress/widescreen-tv.jpg
Thanks a lot!!!!

Welcome to the forum.

See [Tutorial] Some useful hints on using images for a discussion on how best to handle images in Writer. It works for Impress too.

1. Writing on top of an image. Right-click the Image > Arrange > Send to back. You can now write on top of it.

2. Lighten the image. Use an Image editor like IrfanView and go Image > Colour corrections. Or reduce the transparency value - this can also be done in AOO if you go View > Toolbars ..., and select Picture. Read Chapters 4, 5 and 6 in the Impress Manual.

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Impress Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.

Press F1 to access the Help screen and search for your problem

When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.

Thank you so much John_Ha)
