Default Word 2007 - Picture Background in Table

Hello,
I am working in an Avery template for business cards and inserted a washout
photo. I then inserted a table over that. Now I want to adjust the picture
contrast but since adding the table and text am unable to access the right
click menu with the format picture command. I've removed the table but no
matter how I click on the photo I can't get any handles to show to access the
correct menu, I can only get to the table menu.

What can I do?
Thanks.

At the far right end of the Home ribbon, click the Select button and choose
Select Objects. That will let you click the picture "through" the table.
