Picture fills can look great and distracting depending upon the type of picture you choose, and the object that you fill with the picture can also make a difference. If you need to use a picture as a fill for your chart's Plot Area, then you must put in plenty of thought because you don't want to crowd your chart. Therefore you can use a picture, but it's best to use one that's muted enough and does not attract too much attention.
Other fill types that you can apply to the Plot Area of a chart include a solid color, a gradient, a texture, or a pattern. Also, you can use a picture fill (explained on this page).
