Replacing images in Keynote '09

I have a slide show of 40 pictures set to music.
I want to update this show with 40 new pictures but would like the animations and sizes to stay exactly the same. I thought there was a way to simply drag the new pictures into the old slots and they'd be replaced.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

First make the old pictures Placeholder +(Format>Advanced>Define as Media Placeholder)+. Then you can drag and drop.

  • Replace Images in Keynote '09

    I need to update a presentation with new updated images. Is there a way to swap the current image with another, keeping its animation and properties without going through the pains of inserting the new image, formating it and reapplying the animation. (I can do this in Powerpoint)

    Another way I use all the time is to open the package and replace images. As long as the new image has the same name as the original, when you open the document it will load the new image with the same settings as the original. Note that the new version of keynote does not save projects as packages unless you tell it to in the settings... and then it only does that to new documents.

  • Easy way to replace images in keynote without losing formating?

    I have a keynote document that contains a large number of images which have been formated in various ways using the tools in keynote (resizing, masking, builds, etc.). When I noticed that the presentation was performing rather slows (locking up, delayed response, etc.), I took a closer look at the image files and discovered that they were 600 dpi. I changed the resolution of the files down to 72dpi in photoshop and replaced the original image with this new lower resolution version. The performance and that slide was greatly improved. However, I now have over 100 images that need the same treatment. I can pull the image file out of keynote fairly easily by dragging the file icon from the file info box of the the metrics tab of the inspector window into a finder folder. BUT, here is the question: is there a way to quickly and easily replace the original 600dpi images in keynote with the new ones that I have scaled down to 72 dpi in photoshop? As far as I can tell, I cannot simply drag the new image (or copy/paste) into the file info box of the metrics pane in the inspector window. Any suggestions???

    If the scaling between the 600 DPI and 72 DPI versions of the images are different, then there likely isn't any way to do a bulk change. If, on the other hand, you just need to replace the images themselves, but the same effects are applied (e.g., same scaling, masking, etc.), then you may be able to batch replace them by tinkering with the presentation package. All Keynote presentation are actually "packages", collections of files that appear to the Finder as a single file. If you select the presentation icon while holding down the Control key, then choose "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu, you'll see the files inside the presentation. These files will include the original image files. If you name your 72 DPI files exactly the same as their 600 DPI versions, and replace the old versions with the newer, smaller versions, Keynote should use those new images exactly as it did the old ones.
    If you have done a bunch of transformations on the images in Keynote, I'm a bit dubious that this will work, but it may be worth a shot.

  • Way to replace image names? HELP!!

    Hi, I'm working on a series of keynote documents that need, for outside reasons, to have exact consecutive image numbers... right now they are kinda all over the place. Lets say an image is called Image_02, and I change the name of it to be Image_27 to match said outside need, is there a way to tell it to update the image to Image_27 in keynote?
    In Indesign, the document will have a little icon saying it can't locate the image, and then you go through and tell it where the image is... can you do that in keynote? I have about 300+ images to do this with, and I can't imagine I will have to go through and manually replace all the images in keynote so the names are correct!!Help!!

    Thanks for your help Mark!
    You're right, yeah the QR code is a placed link, probably would be easiest to have the document open and relink and save out as a PDF 100 times. The files obviously need to have different names but they DO NOT need to relate to the file name of the QR code (codes/web addresses will be scanned manually by the client after printing for reference).
    So now I just need help to figure out how to 'Relink' and 'Save As' 100 times. I've never used scripts before, is it something I can do myself or would I need to get someone to write it? Or can I just set up a regular or batch action?
    Thanks again!

  • Batch Replace Images

    I have been working on a project that requires a slide presentation consisting solely of a number of .psd images. While waiting for one final asset from the client, I decided to go ahead and throw together the presentation in Keynote, thinking I could just update the .psd images easily after I finished editing them with the final asset. However, to my dismay, I have learned that Keynote isn't intelligent in this regard to realize when I have updated assets used by it, nor does it give me any tools to accomplish the task of updating an image short of recreating the entire project.
    Is there a way to batch replace images used by Keynote? This seems like an incredibly simple workflow task, but it seems there is no simple way to do it. I found one other thread that suggested looking at the package contents of my .key document, but that doesn't seem to work anymore - the option to view package contents doesn't show up on my context menu.
    I'm going to go ahead and spend the hour recreating this document, but it would be nice to know the answer to this question for future reference! This is something I know even PowerPoint can accomplish... :/

    Welcome to the forums!
    Keynote files are still packages, but the default behaviour for Keynote is to compress them as a ZIP file. If you change the file extension from .key to .zip, then uncompress the result, you will get a folder with the package contents, including the images. To make this back into a standard package, just add the .key extension to the folder (to get the compressed package, first compress the folder, then add the .key).
    You can control whether a package is stored as a single compressed file or not in the Keynote Preferences.

  • How do you add multiple images in Keynote with the same slide formatting?

    I want to add 100+ images into Keynote for a photo slideshow, and I want all of the images to be preformatted using the frame/border style I set up in one of the  master slides...I don't want the images to fill the entire slide, and the goal is to not have to touch every slide and every image.  I know I can add images individually using the media button on the photo placeholder and the photo will fill the frame I have created, but I want to do this for all images at one time.  Is there a way to do this when adding the images into the presentation, or a way to format them all at once after adding them to the presentation.  Someone please help, I have looked everywhere and have had no luck finding an answer!!!  I accidentally made this happen last week when I was playing around but I don't know what I did and I can't seem to duplicate the results.  I feel certain there has to be a fairly simply solution, something I am missing.  I am working in the most recent version of Keynote (ver 6) and on Maverick OS.

    tspencer74, I have exactly the same problem and it's driving me nuts! I'm heartened that you managed to actually do this even by accident as I've not managed to make it happen at all in spite of much fiddling. So, the big question, did you find the answer? If so can you tell me what it is please?

  • "text wrap image" in Keynote 5.0.3

    I used the subject line (without quotations) to search for an answer in both Keynote and Pages forums, but found nothing relevant.
    Surely I can place an image into Keynote 09 and be able to wrap/ flow the text around it. Hadn't I done this in the past? I'm not able to find it today- looked in the inspectors (there is no "wrap" inspector tab, all the menus, read the user guide (it doesn't even have the word wrap in it), and it's looking like I can't wrap/ flow text around an image.
    I have to admit I'm surprised by that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if you tell me it can be done and how to do it. ::grin::
    Thanks. Joel.

    Sorry to go off-topic, but I just wanted to explain why the “if you have to wrap, it’s too much text” is a good rule, but like most rules, there are many instances where that rule can +and should+ be broken.
    Most of the presentations I make are to public boards (public utility governing boards, county boards of supervisors, regulatory agency boards, etc.). Before the meeting, I submit my Keynote presentation, which is included in the agenda and ultimately becomes part of the permanent public record.
    I could make a fabulous speech with an amazing, very simple Keynote presentation that supports my speech, but the decisions typically don't get made in the meetings. They get made based on the recommendations of staff members who use my Keynote presentation as a reference because they weren't at the meeting to hear my riveting speech.
    In these cases, the Keynote presentation isn't a visual aid for my speech. The speech is an audio aid for the Keynote presentation. Succinct and well-written text organized logically with easy-to-understand graphics wins staff over to my position. Three words and a graphic on a slide that don't make sense without the accompanying speech accomplish nothing.
    Anyway, *as you said*, there are exceptions to every rule and your point is a good one. I see all too often presentations where the speaker stands in front of the group and just reads his PowerPoint presentation word for word (the people who do this are inevitably using PP, not Keynote, of course )
    The most important thing is to consider the purpose of your presentation, whom it will be presented to, and how it will be used. Anyone who is doing presentations professionally should understand this rule (and others), and the reason behind it. And at that point, you can make an informed decision about whether or not the rule is appropriate to your specific situation.

  • Why can't we replace images in photo stream?

    Shared photo streams could be great, but it has a big downside because we cannot replace images in it. How many times haven't I uploaded images that I later wanted to edit? But the only way to replace an image is to delete it and upload a new one. It will appear at the end of the stream as a new project, and all comments will disappear.
    Please give us a better way to replace images, that makes it possible to keep the original place in the photo stream, and keep the comments.

  • Script for replacing Image from a frame into InDesign document file

    Hi All,
    I am having an indesign document (indd) file with images and texts. I am using InDesign Server CS4 to run the scripts via SOAP.
    My requirement is to replace any of the images from the required frame/s of indesign document through scripting (I already have frame id of which image needs to be replaced). I have written written java-script file (as given below): but when I execute this java-script on InDesign Server via SOAP, I get follwoing error into InDesign Server:

  • How to replace images in slideshow?

    I would like to replace images in slideshow, but I can see only ADD option.

    Thanks Parikshit.
    Looks the trick would be to turn on Thumbnails, delete the image and turn it off.

  • 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.

  • Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

    Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

    I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
    So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
    I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.

  • Process for replacing images

    I would like to get our opinion on how I am working when replacing images.
    The help-project has not been updated since it first was generated but much has been done to the system. So there are a lot of images to replace but I have very limited time and the customer want as much as possible to be done. This means that I have to do some things in a way that might not be the best way but is the fastest. But I don’t want to work in a way that we later regret because it causes some problem that I haven’t realized yet. I don’t have much knowledge of the updates of the system or of the RoboHelp-project (what is described in the help, where in the help is it described).
    I capture the image with IrfanWiew.
    I delete the old image in the Design Editor. (I’m aware that the image is not removed from the project but I will deal with this later.)
    I paste the image in the Design Editor. (I find this the fastest way to get the new pictures where they should go.)
    When I have finished replacing images I create a folder and drag the images there (either in RoboHelp or in Windows Explorer).  The old images are in a separate folder but I don’t want the new images in the same folder because it might be some name conflicts.
    I remove unused images by looking at the report Unused Files.
    Is this an ok way to work?

    If you are replacing one image with another, you could could save them with the same file name and in the same location. Your project should then pick it up. However there is a proviso that the old and new images are exactly the same size. If they are not, you may have to reset the image size inside the Design Editor for each image.
    If you use your workflow, I would not paste the image in. Whilst this is acceptable, you'll end up with image file names that bear no resemblance to the image (e.g. image001.png, image002.png, etc.) which may create future difficulties. Also ensure you drag your images from INSIDE your project. If you do this in Windows, your project will be unaware you have moved them and report them as broken links.
