Free stock photography websites like [unsplash.com](http://unsplash.com/?ref=jeffsu.org) are amazing resources to use in presentations but why settle for just amazing when you can be amazing **and** unique? 😉

## Generate the images you want with Gemini

Note that the benefits of using Gemini to generate images go way beyond getting a unique image; I wanted to have a cup of coffee and a green plant on the table and Gemini gave it to me!

#### Copy my prompt

Generate a photorealistic top-down view of a white desk, with a completely empty space in the middle and natural sunlight. Include a cup of coffee and 1 green plant

## Ok, so what?

This is the **before-and-after** of slide I presented at work recently, let’s see what I did step-by-step.

First, after adding the image to Google Slides, I dialed the opacity down to 0 so I could crop the image perfectly:

After bringing the opacity back up to 100%, I dialed down the brightness so the white text could pop out from the background:

## Pro tip

I like to add relevant sticks/gifs within my slides by going to Insert > GIFs and stickers:
