Inserting pictures / objects in Keynote

When inserting A jpeg file into a Keynote slide, is there a way of blending the backgroung of the jpeg to match the theme.
For example with say a scanned company logo, the jpeg file would contain a white background which would appear as a white box when dropped onto a keynote theme. The only way of hiding this is to set my theme or background to white.
Please does anyone know of any workarounds, so the jpeg's background would blend in. Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for response.

JPEGs do not support transparency, so you can't do what you want in that format. Also, unlike PowerPoint, Keynote will not let you specify a colour in an image to be transparent (although in my limited experience, this feature doesn't work that well in PowerPoint).
You have a couple of options. The best is to get the original vector art file for the logo in question, either EPS or PDF version. This will be infinitely scalable and should have no background -- it will give you the best results.
If you can't get the original logo, and have to work from scans, then you'll need to use a graphics application like GraphicConverter (which comes with later Macs, and is shareware otherwise), or PhotoShop, or the various free PhotoShop wannabees like the GIMP. In one of these applications, you will be able to specify a colour to be transparent, and then can save the image as a PNG graphic (a high-resolution format that allows transparency).

  • Inserting an arrow in a picture object in a document

    I am using Pages 2.0.2. I inserted a jpeg image and need to put an arrow on this image to show readers that this is the area we are discussing.
    I have been using Edit > Insert > Shape and get my arrow, change the color and size. When I try to drag the arrow and anchor it on my image the arrow shape replaces the former jpeg and all I now see is a big arrow in that space.
    Could someone share with me how to get the arrow in place?
    I have also tried to insert a special character arrow and that didn't work either.
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I think you may be inserting both objects with the text cursor active. If you look in the wrap inspector with the object selected, you'll probably see "moves with text" selected. Inserting a second object, the arrow, will "push" the first object, possibly out of sight before or after the first object. With the object(s) selected, click the "fixed on page" option. You should now be able to position them as you want. If any of your objects is a text box, the default setting of wrap being on with a 12-point gutter/extra space, the text will be "pushed" away.
    To prevent this from happening, make sure you're not in the text layer before inserting any objects by clicking outsid of the layout area first.

  • How do I delay a picture change in Keynote beyond the 60seconds the build process allows from one graphic to another on the same slide?

    How do I delay a picture change in Keynote beyond the 60 seconds allowed in the 'build' it procedure on the same slide?

    BazzyS wrote:
    I'm referring to a graphic change within the same slide not transition between slides.
    In the suggestion I gave, using a transition instead of a build, has exactly the same visual effect as a build, it just uses a different tool.
    in my example earlier, I have 7 coloured objects, the first 6 objects appear using a dissolve build.
    The 8th object appears with the same effect, a dissolve, but is delayed by 5 minutes because it uses a dissolve transition.
    I used a transition instead of a build which uses 2 slides to achieve the effect, the viewers will not care how many slides there are and what tool is used, its the end result that matters.
    first 7 objects appear in a build
    a transition set up using a disolve and a delay of 10 minutes
    7th object appears with a disolve

  • How to "save" custom objects in keynote

    I've created custom art / objects in keynote that I'd like to reuse and quickly insert into presentations.  Is there a way to "store" or "save" the custom artwork in my version of keynote for quick recall?

    Hi, Offline edition doesnt support custom objects or any other object that is not available as part of the default offline solution. Hope it helps

  • Inserted Picture Occupies Entire Page

    My iD document consists of two-page spreads with light gray background ("BG") layers.The two pages in any given spread respond differently to the picture insertion command, using Cmd+d or Ctrl+d (same response under Win XP and Mac OS X). When I try to insert a picture into the right page, the inserted image becomes a part the entire page beginning at the upper left corner. When I try to reposition the image, the BG moves along with the image.
    This only happens on the right hand page. On the left page, inserted pictures behave normally.
    My work-around is, for right-hand pages, to copy and paste the image, rather than using Cmd+d.
    Working with my page master, I actually removed the BG from the RH page, and copied/pasted the BG from LH page. The behavior described above persists.
    Two questions: (1) Can someone please show me how to fix the right-hand page? (2) Is my document content compromised in any way, by copying/pasting the image rather than inserting it?
    Best,
    jwc

    Besides locking the background layer, there seems to be something different about how you are Placing (you need to learn the ID lingo) the images from page to page, or perhaps you've locked the frame itself on the left and left it onlocked on the right.
    Being able to select and place content into a locked frame is a preference item, and the default is not enabled. Note that this is not the same as locking the entire layer, which makes all objects on the layer non-selectable regardless of the inidividual lock status.
    NEVER copy/paste images into ID. You get only the image preview, and you have no way to update or edit the image.

  • Insert Picture with formula?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have a picture automatically appear when the user types an associated description?
    Here is an example:
    I have a picture of a product. I want that picture to appear in a specific spot when I type in the number "16." I also need the product's list price to appear in a specific cell also.
    How can I do this?

    It's done.
    Here is the script.
    --[SCRIPT billwithpicture]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : billwithpicture.scpt
    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    Sélectionner la cellule où vous souhaitez insérer un code objet.
    aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir billwithpicture
    Le script vous demandera de saisir le code (ici ce doit être un nombre entier)
    Il extrait le prix et la photo de l'objet correspondant de la table "lookup"
    et insère ces informations dans les cellules requises.
    Le nom de la table et les colonnes prix et photos sont définis
    par trois properties que vous pouvez éditer.
    --=====
    L'aide du Finder explique:
    L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications:AppleScript.
    Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
    Sous 10.6.x,
    aller dans le panneau "Général" du dialogue Préférences de l'Éditeur Applescript
    puis cocher la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus".
    --=====
    Save the script as a Script: billwithpicture.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    Select the cell in which you want to insert an object code.
    go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose "billwithpicture"
    The script will ask you to enter the object code (here it must be an integer)
    From the table "lookup", it extract the price and the picture of the selected object
    then it insert these values in the defined cells.
    The table name as well as the target columns are defined
    by three properties which you may edit.
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications:AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
    Under 10.6.x,
    go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
    and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

  • How To Insert A object into Conext

    Hi Techies,
    I have 8 tables in my designer
    and I have two contexts at designer level
    And how to insert a object into a context that is not referencing any table.
    For Example I have an object like "rownum" (Which should must be added at Universe level only not at report level). Here this object is not referencing any table and I want this to be used in a query where the remaining objects are coming from the context..
    Thanks in Advance..

          Double-click the Objects and click the TABLES button and select the table you want to associate the object to for the context to work properly (see below).
    Regards,
    Ajay

  • Insert pictures and video

    Hello,
    How can I insert videocuts into a show I recorded myself? I am in the studio, presenting a show and during the presentation I want to show pictures and video to the audience.
    * I wil first record the show in our studio
    * And then I insert pictures and video on certain places in the recorded show.
    Is this possible in Imovie 8 or in one of the older imovies.
    Or must I use finalcut for this?
    Thanks! Richard - The Netherlands

    Hello, Richard,
    I have not used iMovie 8 much, so don't know about doing this in that version, but you can easily do this in iMovie HD 6.
    I am not sure exactly how you want to do this. It depends on whether you want to place those photos and other video clips OVER the recorded show, so that the audio from the recorded show plays while the photos and videos are displayed, or if you want to have them ADDED in the midst of the recorded show.
    If you just want to insert photos and videos in the midst of your recorded show, first import your recorded show into iMovie6. Put it in the timeline. Move the playhead to the point where you want the first photo, and do a 'split video at playhead' command, drag the photos/videos to the time line there. They will be added between the split video clips. Repeat for all the photos/videos.
    It sounds as if the option you want is 'Paste Over at Playhead' which allows the photos and videos you add to be seen over the recorded show, so that the audio plays continually. In tv and movies this is done when someone is talking about something and then there is a 'cut-away' to a photo or video clip of whatever the person is describing so the audience can visualize what he is saying while he is speaking.
    Here are instructions for doing that from iMovie HD6 Help:
    *Inserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio*
    +You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.+
    +To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:+
    +Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.+
    +Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.+
    +Select the video or photo that you want to insert.+
    +Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.+
    +Do one of the following:+
    +To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.+
    +To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over. (To learn more about selecting part of a video clip, see Related Topics below.)+
    +If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).+
    +Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."+
    +The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.+
    Post back if this does not address what you are trying to do.

  • Insert picture and sound without external sources

    how can we insert pictures and sound without using external sources??
    i mean , i want to make the picture somehow embeded inside the program, not from external source,
    can any1 help?/

    I sense that what you need to do is create a Jar (java archive) file for your code and images and any other resources. Do a search on the forum for the terms -- jar pictures getresource -- and you'll get a ton of helpful threads. Also check Google. Some useful links:
