How can I make a picture transparent in Keynote

So I'm helping my kid with a school project with a simple Keynote presentation.  I know how to make the whitespace around a shape in Powerpoint blend in with the background, but I can't figure out how to do the same in Keynote.  It's a simple small square pic that he wants to use for a Wild West presentation.  I've read where people have done some import/export of images into photoshop, but that's not an option for us.  I've exported the imaga and saved as a .png and re-imported it, but still no-go.  Can anyone help?  It's a Mac, and shouldn't be this difficult.  We've got Keynote '09.  Yes...'09 on a MacPro running 10.6.8.

Click the Alpha button in the tool bar and drag on the white in the image with the mouse until the background is removed.

  • How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?

    I am new to FCP X and I'm creating a picture slideshow.  How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?
    For example, I would like to have 10 pictures all play in 5 seconds, and starting off with the 1st one being little light; 2nd lighter; 3rd lightter; etc., to 10th being completly white screen...
    Can anyone help ?

    Here is what I would do. Add a 5 second white generator solid to your storyline. Add your 10 half second clips as attached clips. Select them all, right click and make a compound clip. Then keyframe the compound clips opacity from 100% t0 0% with one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That will give you a linear reduction in opacity over the 5 seconds(10 pics). You can play with the keyframes to get the effect you want if linear isn't doing it.

  • How can I make a page transparent in InDesign CS4?

    Hello and thank you all for your help in advance!
    I would like to make a page transparent in InDesign.
    When the magazine is printed it will be an overlay page with font printed on it where you can still see the image underneath. I was wondering if this is possible.
    I'm not quite sure if it has a technical name to it or not so I uploaded a picture of what I'm speaking about to Tinypic.

    (routes and lines on top on the semi-transparent page, map on next)
    Thanks for your help!

    will these subjects actually be printed on separate pages or do you want to overlay some images on one page with type on the same page?
    If the former, add and use layers; if the latter design one page and save it as a pdf. Place that pdf on a lower level layer, lock the layer, and work on a higher layer.

  • How can I make a window transparent but keep its objects opaque in Cocoa-Applescript?

    How can I do this in Cocoa-Applescript, Xcode? As well, is it possible to blur the area behind where the transparent window is?

    You can set the window transparency with something like:
    theWindow's setBackgroundColor:(current application's NSColor's clearColor)
    theWindow's setOpaque:false
    I haven't seen a way using public APIs to blur behind the window, but I'm not sure about using ASObjC with stuff like Core Image, anyway.
    You might also try something like setting the background to a gray color and play with the grayscale and alpha values (colorWithCalibratedWhite:0.0 alpha:0.2, for example).

    Hi Waterlely, inserting image in html is very easy but you will need the image to be hosted on your website first, also pls specify if you are using any CMS (Content Management System like Wordpress etc.) ?
    Insert html image like this:
    <img src="'your image path here" height="100%" width="100%">
    See live example here:

  • How can I make sure fonts in a Keynote presentation developed on iMac will show/match when transferring the presentation to MacBook Air?

    It would seem (to me) this should not be an issue, but I have an iMac and MacBook Air with the identical version of OS (10.7.4) and Keynote ('09 5.1.1).  Yet, the fonts don't match.  Fonts I would regularly use when developing the presentation on the iMac do not transfer (create "Review" errors) to the Air.  How can I fix it so that all the fonts on iMac show on Air?

    If I am understanding your question correctly what you are wanting to achieve is not possible. You can't run the same keynote presentation on both devices at the same time. Also, why would you want to use the small screen size of the iPhone as your display instead of the iPad? If it is just to see your presenter notes then print them out and use the iPhone as your remote.
    Perhaps more info is needed so i fully understand your issue.

  • How can I make a indicator transparent grey?

    Hi,
    I would like to make the background of a string indicator transparent grey on the FP. No Problem making it either transparent or grey, but I don't know how to make it transparent and grey at the same time.
    Would anyone know?
    Labview 8.5. & XP
    Thanks a lot,
    Marc

    I'm not sure I follow you.
    If you make a control or indicator transparent, that means there is no color.  Whatever is behind goes through.
    If you make it grey, then it is grey.  It is not transparent.  You can't have both at once..
    Now, do you want to see something underneath the control or indicator and see it as grey?
    If so, then make the control / indicator transparent and color whatever is in the background grey..
    Or maybe I totally didn't understand what you want to do..
    Can you post an example code of what you want to do?

  • How can I make a movable transparent main window (HTML, not FLEX)?

    Hi all-
    I'm new to AIR and coming up to speed quickly. I got a sample application up and running right away and was able to give it a transparent main window so that the corners are rounded and there is no window title bar.
    However, I can't figure out how to make it so the user can drag the application around their desktop when they click on it.
    I've seen a few FLEX examples of this but I have to work in HTML.
    Does anyone know how to set this up in HTML?
    Thanks,
    Nicholas

    "Works pretty much as I'd expect, except clicking and dragging one of the child controls in my window (e.g. a button) moves the whole window as well."
    Most user interface events (mouse up, down, etc.) "bubble" up from child elements to their parents. Since you are listening on the body element, your handler is called for every mouse down in the page since the body is the highest parent in the document.
    You can either:
    Attach the event listener directly to the element used to drag the window.
    Check the event target property to check whether the target of the event (the element moused) is a drag control.

    my photo stream does not work at all. I've tried making a new album, but that does not work. So I've tried using an already existing album and deleting the pictures there. I decided to only upload 1 photo from my old phone (iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.1) to see if it'll show up on my new device (iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.1) it doesnt even show up in my new phone (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2) this picture is what shows up on both my iPhone 6 and 5 but on the 4s there is a picture that I "uploaded" and a second one that came out of nowhere. I do not know what to do because in the past this has worked out for me and it shows up on all three devices

    You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
    You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

  • How can I make a picture fit entirely in the photo box in a book.  The picture size is small, but the it only shows part of the picture, and the zoom is all the way down.

    I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding.  I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
    The picture size is small.  But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller.  Doesn't go far enough.  When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture.  Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out.  I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto.  I have used other sites to make books.  This is my first try with IPhoto.   I may have to revert to the old familiar ones.  Wanted to give this one a try.  My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband.  I am quickly running out of time.  (The wedding was this past Saturday)

    Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame
