Adjusting Image Used for Master Slide Background

I'd like to use a jpeg of mine as the master slide background in a Keynote doc. But I'd like to be able to adjust that image (e.g., making it brighter or less opaque) so that text is clearly visible on it. I know that in the Inspector there are ample ways to adjust the qualities of an image inserted into a slide, but I have not found any way to do with images that are slide backgrounds (or the slide master).
Does anyone know a way? Thanks.

  • How can I change the image quality of a background image on a master slide?

    I can change the image quality from low to high for other images in my Captivate project, but the background image I'm using on my master slide looks pixellated. I would like to change this image to high-quality but I don't see the option in my properties panel on my master slide.
    Thanks for any help!

    You cannot import AI images directly. However, when I use Illustrator drawings, I'll import them as smart object in Photoshop and then you can import the PS-layer.
    The quality you set in Captivate is not for individual images, but for the slides that are published as bitmap. This means that it doesn't matter if the object is on a master slide or on a regular slide IMO

  • Master slide background color

    When I select the master slide on the far left (the slightly bigger one), and I deselect "project background" and change the "stage:" to a different color, nothing happens.  I am trying to use the solid color (paint can) and I put in my choice of Hex color (005983).  When I try the same thing on the individual master slides to the right, I also get nothing.  I even changed the Edit>Preferences>Defaults>Background color to the same color.  And I get nothing.
    I can (and have) put other things (logo, color bar) on the Master slide, and it propigates to the right on the other slides.  What am I missing? 

    There are objects on the main master slide, they are not merged into the background. Yes, you can set the stage color for a normal slide as well:
    What do you really want to achieve with selecting a blue color for the main master slide? It will not show up because you have objects on that slide that cover the stage color.
    I know, documentation is not very helpful. I have been writing a lot about Captivate to provide some clues, but not about master slides. It is a lot of work to write out documentation and I'm offering everything for free. Same with answers here, where Rod and Rick are also spending many hours trying to provide answers.
    Depending on the theme you started with, there can be a project background. You used the white theme. That background will always show up on the main master slide, even when you uncheck Project background. If you want not to see that Project background on a normal slide, but a full blue color, you have to unselect Use Master Slide Background, then unselect Project Background (is dimmed as long as you use Master Slide Background) and then you can use a stage color. Those settings I show in the screenshot.

  • How to retain the master slide background at the end of the quiz reporting page of a project

    I have noticed that the content of the master slide is not retained till the end in the quiz results page of the project. What should I do to retain the contents till the end of the project?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your time. I have checked the transitions. i didnt give any transition to the slides in the project and i also check the preferences too, i had disable the options that is to fade in and fade out. My problem is "I have 12 slides in this with an intro slide and 10 question slides and then the quiz results page. In that result page, it is showing the result at the end of the result slide the pause button in the skin turned to play button. While clicking that play button it shows only the results, review quiz button and retake quiz button only. It doesn't display the images, widgets, text and some other options which is used in master slide or in the slide itself " Why those things have disappeared? Can you guide me how to overcome this issue.
    The solution for the playbar is quiet good. One more doubt in that, The play bar should be displayed in that page but it should be disabled, Is there any solution for this? If yes, kindly share with me

  • Adjusting audio volume for all slides?

    I can easily do this for one slide, but when I Shift-click to
    select all slides, then apply Captivate's Audio / Edit Timing menu
    option, the dialog shows me an Adjust Volume option that adjusts
    the volume for all slides in the movie. But, when I adjust the
    volume and press OK to exit the dialog, the new volume setting is
    not saved with my movie. Is this a bug? Anyone?

    Hi boonedogr and welcome to our community
    In the words of Yoda: Hmmm, seems a bug we have found!
    So here is how to make it stick.
    1. Click Audio > Edit timing... and you should see the
    "Edit Audio Timing" dialog.
    2. Click the Insert Silence toolbar button. This should
    produce the "Insert Silence" dialog.
    3. Change the "Insert" field so it reflects 0.001seconds of
    silence.
    This step is necessary to trick Captivate into accepting the
    audio has indeed changed. I use 0.001 seconds as it is the minimum
    you can insert and it should have absolutely no discernable effect
    on your movie.
    4. Now click the Adjust Volume button to see the "Adjust
    Volume" dialog where you can alter the volume level as well as
    boost dynamics and whatnot.
    5. Make adjustments as desired.
    6. Click OK to dismiss the Adjust Volume dialog.
    7. Click OK to dismiss the Edit Audio Timing dialog
    At this point, you should notice several progress indicators
    as the audio clips for all slides with audio are adjusted to
    reflect your new settings.
    *NOTE: This will have no effect on Background Audio or Object
    Level Audio. Those clips will need to be adjusted manually as a
    separate process.
    Hope this helps a bit... Rick

  • Can I create slides automatically using a master slide with text placeholders if I have a database of the content?

    I'm using Keynote, and I have a presentation that is over 100 slides all identical to the master slide. There are several placeholder text elements, and I have a database of all the text elements.
    Is there any way to do a "merge" to create the slides automatically using the master slide template?

    Sure, you can build in and out as many text boxes as you like -- just add a new text box, put in the text, and set the build for it. Do be aware, however, that the timing you get will not be very precise.
    If you specifically want to present song lyrics synched to audio, you might find that there are better alternatives than Keynote. Brian Peat, who contributes here regularly, has a comprehensive list of song presentation software. This list may have a better option for you.

  • TOC tab pushing down master slide background

    Why is this happening? It only occurs on three new slides and it pushes down the master slide (background only, not content)

    I am using Captivate 7. Here are two screen shots; one that is displayed correctly and one that pushes the master slide down, but leaves the content in place.

  • Live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds.

    live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds. Ideas?

    What I want to do is somehow make my entire iMovie project smaller by compressing it somehow but without losing any footage or audio or quality. At the moment the project is a 56GB iMovie project lasting approx 1hr. I have a mixture of miniDV footage, titles created in Live Type (they are better quality than anything available in iMovie) and audio.
    The miniDV footage is automatically compressed when it transfers from my camcorder to my Mac, no worries there.
    The LiveType titles contain a motion background (imported into LT) and then text which appears and disappears at set points. The titles vary in length but are about 5 seconds each.
    The file size for the LT titles is approx 180MB per clip, the movie requires about 20 or so of these clips, making a very large file size overall.
    Is there a way that I can save something in LT so that the file size is smaller yet still keep the quality and use the clip in my iMovie ?

  • Templates for master slides

    Hi,
    It's the first time I use captivate and I have a question :
    I want to have 2 master slide for the begining and the end of each sequence : Show objectives, show steps ...
    The problem is that I'm not a designer.
    Do you know where I can find some great templates for this ?
    Regards.

    I started out looking through this website. It is designed around Articulate, but I was able to take some of the ideas and re-create them in powerpoint as images and upload them into Captivate....or just use the already designed PowerPoint templates and bring them into Captivate.
    http://community.articulate.com/downloads/
    I also adore Tom's Blog (he always has fabulous ideas/templates/freebies) most of which end up in the downloads on the Articulate community:

    there are also some you can purchase here:

  • Create custom image frames in Master slides

    Hi folks-
    I see how to customize all the content for a custom theme, but I don't see where I can define new image frames in a custom Master theme. For example, say I have a dotted border I want to act as a new frame for a media placeholder. Where can I define this?
    Thanks.

    You can't add a custom frame because they aren't stored in the file when you give it to someone else. Let me rephrase that, you COULD make a custom frame, and I actually did for Keynote 08, but it will ONLY work if you manage to install it on every copy of Keynote you use. If you open your file on a copy of Keynote that uses that frame, it will come up without the frame.
    You could go old school and just make a frame in photoshop, then stick that on the master slide and stick your photos behind it (there's an option to allow layering with master slide items). That's how Keynote used to work.

  • Can I adjust the time for each slide?

    I'm making videos out my own photos.
    I've figured out how to upload the photos, record a commentary, etc. but I need to adjust the time that each slide is shown. This is because the videos are how-to's, and some explanations are longer than others, and in that case the slide needs to stay on longer.
    I'm using iMovie 08 and can't upgrade because I'm still on OSX 10.5.8.
    Thanks!
    Gina

    There should be a Duration button at the bottom left of the photo thumbnail in your project. Click this button and you will see a dialog box where you can adjust the duration. Be sure not to check the box that say "apply to all photos".

  • Location for images used for login identity?

    Where are the images that are used for a user at the login screen? I used a picture for a user that I no longer have and I would like to retrieve it, though I can not figure out where it is stored within Tiger. It does not seem to be a picture that I have in my iPhoto library, so I am guessing Tiger copies the image I selected to another location?
    Thanks!!!

    Look in the folder /Library/Caches/ on your hard disk for this image; if it is here, it should have a name along the lines of com.apple.user501pictureCache.tiff.

  • How do you update the image used for your podcast?

    I just recently updated the logo for my podcast and want to know how to alter the one shown on iTunes. I use hipcast to host my podcasts and it tends to update my info on iTunes when I change it via hipcast but does not seem to be working for my pic.

    Make the new image - it should be 1400 x 1400 px - and make sure to give it a different file name from the existing image, or the iTunes Store, which caches the image, won't know it's been changed.
    Upload it to your server and change the URL in the feed, or make the change by whatever method you used to enter the original in Hipcast.
    It's likely to take the iTunes Store quite some days to update the image, so don't panic if it doesn't update at once.

  • How Do I Change The Image Used For The Power Up Screen?

    How do I change the image that is shown when you power up a PC?
    Note: This is not the Start Screen background or the Lock Screen background or the Desk Top background.

    Unfortunately, the suggested solution in that thread does not work and the thread appears to be closed to replies.  That is, even though I am logged in the Reply|Quote|Mark as answer|Report as abuse items are missing.
    The suggested solution is:
    First, I found I had "img100.png" in  C:\Windows\Web\Screen  and
    C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-themeui-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_69ee3fa2269e545e
    1. Belonging to the Administrators Group, I replaced file Owner TrustedInstaller with my Username on both "img100.png" files
    2. After resizing the image I wanted to see on the Login screen to the resolution of "img100.png" file,
    I copied and pasted it to both "img100.png" files keeping this way the format (extension) and resolution of the original "img100.png" file,
    which I permanently deleted.
    However, I have not been able to replace the img100.pgn in C:\Windows\Web\Screen even after taking ownership of it and setting the permissions for my userid to All.  I edit it with mspaint and then try to save it. The save starts that then says the
    save was interrupted.
    The appears to be some additional protection besides the standard acls.
