Hi there,

I am looking to set up a Powerpoint template for a certain brand style that has color overlays. Currently I am working within the slide master. I am trying to set up a shape color or gradient over a placeholder image. The idea is that the client can pick any image they want and it will show up under the color overlay to match their branding.

The problem is every time I do a shape over the placeholder, the image always goes on top. I need this to be super simple and straight forward so someone with zero design skills (an HR team member) can achieve the branded style without overthinking it.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Eric
