Apple Keynote 3 - Manual (Page 90)

90 Chapter 4 Changing Object Properties
 Contrast: Makes different parts of the image stand out. You can make shadows
darker, sharpen the edges of objects, and make colors stand out more. If you
increase the contrast for a photo a lot, it looks more like an illustration.
 Saturation: Adjusts color vibrancy by deepening or lightening colors.
 Temperature: Acts as a kind of “white balance” corrector. You can introduce more
warmth (more orange tones) or coolness (more blue tones).
 Tint: Changes the amount of red or green tones in the image.
 Sharpness: Sharpens or softens the image’s focus.
 Exposure: Lightens an underexposed image or increases the details of an
overexposed image.
 Levels: Shows the relationship between shadows (depicted on the left side of the
display) and highlights (depicted on the right side) in your image. Use the sliders to
change the tonal range by changing the amount of black (left slider) or white (right
slider) in the image.
 Auto levels: Click the Auto Levels button to have Keynote enhance colors
automatically.

5 To save any changes you made, save the document.
The settings you make are preserved (sliders remain at their altered positions).
Changing an Object’s Orientation
You can flip or rotate any object by using the Metrics Inspector. For instance, if you
have an image of an arrow that you want to use in your slideshow, but you need it to
point in a different direction, you can reverse its direction vertically or horizontally, or
point it at any angle.
To open the Metrics Inspector:
m Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the
Metrics Inspector button.
