I'm going to make slides with a lot of math for my company, but I'm only given template for power point and keynote. I saved the title page from power point template and tried to set it as the background of the title page in my beamer presentation. But I have not been successful. Can some one here help me with this? Thanks a lot!
Here is a title page from power point. I want to use it as the background of the title page in my beamer presentation:
Here is a regular page from power point. I want to use it as the background of all the subsequent slides in my beamer presentation.
Your help is highly appreciated!
by the way, I tried \titlegraphic, it couldn't put the image in the right position.
Here is the theme I used (two theme files below). beamerthemeAtlanta.sty

Update here Thank you so much cfr for spending time on helping me! I tried your code, but once I have sections in the slides, the navigation bar on the top shows up and block the blue bar on the background. Please see my code below. Also Can I change the color of "yellow" theme to "blue"? Because the theme color is not compatible with the background picture. Can you let me where I should change in the beamercolorthemeyellowjacket.sty file? Thanks!
