Can you automatically downsample images in Keynote without cropping?

Hello All,
I am trying to get Keynote to perform what I think is a pretty basic task, but can't figure out how to make it happen. I am an art teacher and frequently show my students slide shows made from a large database of .jpgs I have amassed. Most of the .jpgs were scanned at high resolutions - roughly 2500px on the long edge. They are made at this size to anticipate improvements in projector resolution in the future. The slideshows I make are at XGA (1024x768) because this is the native resolution of the school's projectors.
I want to be able to drop large numbers of slides into a slideshow and have Keynote to automatically downsample them to fit on an XGA slide without cropping the image. I currently have "Reduce placed images to fit on slides" checked in the General Preferences. This does downsample the images, but does so in a way that fills the slide with the image and crops on one dimension depending on the aspect ratio of the image. So for example, with the two Kertesz images below, the top and bottom is cropped off the first one and the sides off of the second one. Keynote scales it down so that the image fills the entire slide rather than scaling down so the entire image can fit on the slide.
FIG 1a
FIG 2a
I can then go in and resize the image manually in the metrics tab of the inspector so that the full image is represented in each slide (Fig 1b and 2b below). I have to type in the dimension that is being cropped (768 in Fig 1, 1024 in Fig 2). This further downsamples the image fitting the entire image on the slide which is desired. Doing this for each slide can be burdensome though if I am showing slideshows of 100 or so images. My question is if there is a way to get the results below automatically. I would like to drop multiple images into my slideshow and have it be downsampled so that the entire image fits on the slide. Does anyone know how to make Keynote do this? Thanks.

In the layer of interest make sure the vector mask is selected. Then in the Masks panel adjust the feather slider to an amount that looks right.

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

Can you enable Numbers, Pages, or Keynote to automatically save every ...(desired time intervals) like Microsoft Office does?

Look at:

You will get a link to my Applescript which not only autosaves but keep consecutive datestamped copies so, if the last saved copy appears to be a corrupted one, you may get the preceeding one.

Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

Hi all,
I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
Thank you all

Hi,
I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
Does this make sense? :S

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

Can you add an image as a spacer in SpryMenuBars?

SpryMenuBarVertical.css - version 0.6 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1
Version CS5 DW – Windows XP 32bit system
Can you insert an image as a spacer in the Spry Menu Bar widget?
Page link: http://test.thunderscientific.com/NewMenuTest-Vertical.html
I need to insert an image between menu items; About Thunder and Product Information that matches the height and width of a new menu item with no link to anything.
I’ve tried the image as a background image and it just shows up as the image for all menu items and that’s not what I want.
Would I put the code in the HTML or in the CSS? I’ve tried both to no avail.
I also tried to add a new CSS rule and that didn’t work ether.
Is what I’m asking even a possibility?
Thanks,
Thunder Bolt

I just wanted to say thank you to "vw2ureg" for answering my post, and very quickly I might add.
This worked perfectly, the only thing I had to change was, the background from a color to an image, and the height to 15 pixels and it worked great!
Thanks very much…
ul.MenuBarVertical a.spacer {
background-image:url(../images/image.gif);
cursor: default !important;
height: 15px;

How do you select an image in keynote?

how do you select an image in keynote? I am trying to reduces my image file size but when clicking on image to reduce it I seem to be selecting the mask and hence format/image does not provide me with an option to reduce the image

Click on it to select.
Click and drag a corner handle to change the image size on screen.
This does not alter the file size.

Doesn't look like you can. I'm just a user, so I don't know why. It can be done in Lightroom if that's any consolation.

As Nadia said, you can style a #header division with CSS to use a background image.
EXAMPLE here:
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Liquid-header.shtml
CSS code:
#header {
     padding:0 10px 0 10px;
     line-height:0;
     color:white;
     font-weight:bold;
     background: #000000 url(../Images/Alt-Web-lensflair.jpg) no-repeat top left;

Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....?

Here's a thought for you all.....Can you 'link' an image state icon, across a folio.....
for example a "blinking" 'tap me' 2 state icon, that if you alter, it alters across the whole folio via links??
Object styles?

For each icon that you want to use in your email signature:
locate icon on internet webpage - right-click on the icon and select 'Save Image as'. Save the icon to your computer in a suitable file.
Then in Thunderbird
insert > Image
choose file - locate the saved icon on your computer
click on Link tab and enter the www etc webpage link info
click on OK to insert image with link.
Codewise, where you have the actual icon you would need something stating where the icon is located:
eg
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubiquia/146019678805381" target="_blank">
path to image saved on computer included in within <> </a>
