Custom background color / don't add blur for "fit" accent images
VITA Info
When we insert a photo, and we then have to shrink it to fill the space, AI automatically changes the surrounding area to a gradient. This looks terrible when there are no other gradients being used throughout the presentation. This area surrounding the image / background needs to be editable. Gradient, flat colors, same as the rest of the slide, etc.

It would be great if you could generate photos with different shapes or where the edges bleed away.

Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn die Bildform on eingebetteten Bildern nicht nur einheitlich für das gesamte Deck vorgegeben werden kann, sondern individuell pro Slide -> das schafft bedeutend mehr Abwechslung. Zusätzlich sollte man Bildern andere Formen geben können (Kreis, Halbkreis, etc.). Das muss nicht einmal freeform sein, eine Auswahl, per Menü/ Dropdown) wäre hervorragend.

Full-width header image still cropped despite using Accent Image (Pro account)

Wouter van den Berg
Hello Gamma team,
I’m trying to place an image that spans the full width at the top of a card/slide (a full-width header image). I’m on Gamma Pro.
I’ve already followed the instructions from your chatbot:
Card Styling → Accent image → Top
Click Edit to upload the image
Tried Fill Mode, Fit Mode, dragged the edge to adjust width, and used Change focus point
However, the image is still being cropped/forced into a fixed frame. My goal is to have a full-width header where the entire image remains visible (no unintended crop), or at least to control the crop precisely.
Additional context:
In Media → AI images, I only see 1:1 and 4:3 aspect ratios (e.g., with Ideogram 3.0 Turbo). I don’t see a 16:9 option.
When an image is inserted, the three-dot menu shows standard actions (duplicate, move, link, crop, download, delete), but I don’t see an AI/Magic Edit or Expand Canvas option for the header image.
I tested both illustration and photorealistic images; same cropping behavior.
Could you please advise on the following?
The exact steps to place a true full-width header image without cropping (or how to keep the full image visible while spanning the header).
Whether 16:9 images are supported anywhere for header placement, or what recommended pixel dimensions / aspect ratio you suggest to avoid cropping.
Whether Magic Edit / Expand Canvas is available for accent images in the Top layout (and if this is feature-flagged for certain accounts or styles).
Any “safe area” guidance for header images so important content isn’t cut off.
Happy to share screenshots if helpful.
Thank you in advance for clear, step-by-step guidance!

Accent Image background
STRATAGEO
I don't understand why Gamma is automatically adding background to the Accent images. Leave that choice to user. There is no option to remove it as well. It is very frustrating and annoying.

Thanks for flagging this. We're planning to give users more control over accent image backgrounds - stay tuned!

Chaemin Ahn (Design @ Gamma)Thank you for taking your valuable time to reply. At the moment there is no solution to get rid of it? it's very annoying. Also, any ETA when "more control over accent image backgrounds" will be made available to users please?
Chaemin Ahn (Design @ Gamma)
Hi STRATAGEO, unfortunately you can't remove this right now and we don't have a specific timeline yet.
STRATAGEO
Chaemin Ahn (Design @ Gamma) this is not helpful and would restrict the use of Gamma app. why was it added in the fist place? maybe that will help understand how it's supposed to be used perhaps?

James Lawler, can you share an example or a screenshot? Would be happy to forward this to the team—if I can get a bit more detail
