How do I bring up color gradually on a slide?

I am new to Keynote and to making presentations. I have just about zero familiarity with Keynote tricks of the trade or lingo, so please keep that in mind if you answer my question.
I recently got as an e-mail attachment a PowerPoint presentation that when opened and played as a slideshow in Keynote gradually brings each slide up from no color (i.e., black and white) to full color, then instantly moves to the next slide without a transition.
How do I create a slideshow in Keynote to do that?
The PowerPoint slideshow I received is basically a series of color slides of nighttime cityscapes from around the world that look beautiful in Keynote as the color is brought gradually up from zero, over the course of about 10 seconds per slide. When I play the show in an ancient copy of PowerPoint (v. 10.1) that I have lying around, I have to click once for each slide to change it instantly from B&W to color, then again to move instantly to the next slide. The instructions that appear superimposed over the slides indicate that this is exactly how the show was designed to be played, so I assume what Keynote is doing (playing the whole show straight through without my needing to click the mouse, introducing the color gradually for each slide) is an "extra" Keynote is adding.
What I'm asking here is how to introduce the color gradually for each slide in the presentations I make. Also, can I do that just for an individual photo or graphic on a slide that has text elements and a background, as with a photo in the "Photo - Horizontal" layout. If so, how would I get this effect?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Kyn,
Thanks, that answered my question.
To add to what you said, I figured out the same basic thing on my own (though I didn't think of using a Build dissolve and was using a Transition dissolve). I discovered the easiest way to get the B&W version of the image was to make a slide with the image in color and then duplicate it. Selecting the image _in the first slide of the pair_, I used View menu —> Show Adjust Image to bring up the Adjustment controls and dragged the Saturation control all the way leftward to remove the color. Then for the B&W version of the slide, I set up the Transition in the Slide Inspector to use a 3.00 second Dissolve, with the Transition started automatically. For the color version, I decided to use a Shimmer transition with a 1.50 sec. duration, starting automatically with a 5.0 sec. delay prior to the next pair of slides.
All that is fairly easy to do, if hard to describe, and it produces an automatic slideshow in which all the photos move gradually from having no color to having full color, remain on the screen briefly, then do a Shimmer transition to the next photo.
Thanks for your help in confirming how this can be done!

  • How do I get the color wheel to stop spinning?

    how do I get the color wheel to stop spinning?

    To invoke the Force Quit window, press Command-Option-Escape.
    If no joy, try holding down the Control key while you press the Eject key. This is supposed to bring up this dialog:
    If no joy there, you may have to resort to holding the Power-On key until the machine shuts off. This may leave un-repaired Directory damage, so it is a good idea to hold down the Shift key when you Restart. This invokes Safe Mode, which takes five minutes to run one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk), then starts with minimal extensions loaded. You will need your username and password to log in, even if you normally auto-login.
    Poke around a little, if all looks OK, you can restart in normal mode.

  • How do I get the colors back in Itunes 12 sidebar icons

    Hi. I have a hard time getting used to every new itunes version with the user interface getting harder and less friendly than the previous version, probably since itunes 8 or so. I NEED colorful icons to be able to differentiate what is what in the sidebar, and I have always found a work around, since they dropped the much loved colors, in exchange for increasingly monochrome, drab Gray. There is no differentiation even in the grey, no bold letters for titles, headings, album names etc.   In  iTunes 12 however I tried changing the itunes.rsrc file in this version and it really messed my itunes up, to the point where I had to trash it and start all over with new itunes. Does anyone know how to bring the colorful icons back in iTunes 12? This is ONE of the problems, search is not working right for me either for itunes 11 or 12. I would love it if Apple could give us the option of using old Itunes, such as 8 or something similar where everything was more clearly defined and intuitive, at least for me. Thanks!

  • In Katie's Cafe tutorial, how did she create her color sample?

    In the Adobe Muse tutorial for Katie's Cafe.  How was the color sample created.  She just had us drag it onto our Muse document, but how was the color palette created initially so that it can be used in your Muse document?
    Thanks!

    I think I figured out the solution to the problem people are having.  It has to do with the order that you do things when you try to bring in colors from somewhere else.  If you try to just take colors from somewhere else (ie copy and past them) muse will not recognize them as swatches and even if you take the colors and put them in rectangles in muse and save them to a library muse will still not recognize them as swatches.  What you have to do to create a color set like she did in the tutorial is as follows....
      Copy/Paste your colors into muse
      Make rectangle objects in muse that contain the colors
      Open up the swatches window and click add swatch
      Select one of the colors you added - click ok
      Repeat this process for all the color rectangles you have made
    Now you can use the selection tool to select all the colors you made and create a library with them that will work.
    The issue people seem to be having (and that I myself had) is that when you just copy/paste colors into muse it does not automatically make a swatch for the new color.  When she uses the swatch library in the demo it does add the swatches automatically.  This happens because she went through the process of creating the swatches in muse first (which you are never shown) and not just copy/pasting the colors from some other program.    

  • The flash clip is always in fron of my drop down spry menu. How can i bring my spry menu to the front?

    Hi, Can someone pls help. I could get my dropdown spry menu to be shown as current when it pop outs, it goes behind my flash clip. How can i bring the spry menu to the front?

    well this is the embedded code:
    <object width="400" height="301">
              <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
              <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
              <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
              <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=***&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" />
              <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9959732&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" width="400" height="301" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed>
            </object>
    So I think that's ok? For the rest, all I changed in the spry menu is that I multiplied the z-index twice (menu and submenus) by 10. But that can't be the problem...

  • Bringing out colors....

    So...can anyone help me...I have adobe photoworkshop elements 7 and i want to know if you can bring out colors and how? If i can make a picture black and white and then just bring out one color...like just the shirt or eyes for example...

    There are several methods to do this. Here's one:
    One of the more flexible methods is to create a Hue/Saturation layer adjustment layer of your image. Set your toolbox color swatches to black and white. (Shortcut on PC is to press D). In the Hue/Saturation dialog, reduce the saturation slider in "master"  to -100. Your image will appear black and white. With the Hue/Saturation layer selected (highlighted in the layers palette), grab the paintbrush tool. With black set as the foreground color, paint back the desired color(s). If you make a mistake, use white to remove color (shortcut on PC is X to switch foreground/background colors). Softer brushes produce a more feathered edge...harder brushes sharper edges. Tip: I usually use a hard edge brush then use Gaussian Blur on the mask to soften (feather) the edges to taste.
    For more control over the black and white, leave the master saturation slider alone and instead reduce each of the individual color's saturation sliders to -100. Next, go through and use the lightness or even the hue slider in each color to mix your black and white effect.

    Ah, you're on a MAC - I'm afraid that I'm a windows man.
    I have seen lots of problem with the latest Yosemite system but I can't really advise you as I think your problem needs system knowledge not just PSE knowl;edge.
    It sounds as though the right panel is hiding off screen. Perhaps you need to temporarily change screen resolution to enable you to resize the screen.
    Good luck - I hope a MAC person can jump in here.

    Hello,
    Here is the problematic:
    1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
    - I've many button in a doc im creating
    - the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
    - in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
    - currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
    - i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
    My other questions:
    2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
    - i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
    - the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
    - the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
    a) by it self after "40" seconds
    b) when ther viewer clicks another button
    3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
    - "go to page xxx"
    - when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
    - is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
    4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
    - what should i do?
    5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
    Thank you for your time.

    You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

    InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
