Tags:

beamer

I'd like to create a presentation using LaTeX beamer, that has two different sort of slide templates/layouts: one for slides with a background image and one layout/template for slides without a specified background image.

Is there any trick to do this using beamer?

Basically I boils down to putting \usebackgroundtemplate before each \begin{frame}...\end{frame}.

If you want a specific background image for a single slide, just put an

{\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{background.jpg}}

directly before your \begin{frame}.
