Hi Craig! Great “how to” application of the slide background fill – very clever!!! After watching I was inspired to play around with shapes and added soft edges to add a neat effect. Thanks for sharing your creativity with the rest of us.
Cheers!

Thanks for your kind comment, Diana. And thanks for contributing the idea of using soft edges – that looks great, and it’s not an effect you can achieve using the transparency-based spotlight method that Stephanie suggested. Good tip!
