Learn how to add, manipulate, and modify images and

shapes in your slideshow. Many of the same techniques can

also be applied to other objects, such as charts, tables, text

boxes, and movies.

An object is any item you place on your slide that will be seen during the presentation.
Images, shapes, movies, text boxes, tables, and charts are all objects.

This chapter focuses on images—meaning photographs or PDF files—and shapes,
which include simple predrawn shapes (such as triangles and arrows) and custom
shapes that you can draw yourself using the tools available in Keynote. Most of
the techniques covered in this chapter for placing and manipulating shapes and
images can be generalized to tables, charts, and other objects. Any special formatting
considerations pertaining to tables, charts, movies, text boxes, and web views are
covered in other chapters.
