Changing Object Properties
This chapter describes more advanced features
for enhancing graphics and other objects in your
presentation.
You can directly manipulate object properties such as color, line style and thickness,
shadow, opacity, and orientation using the inspectors and the Colors window. You can
adjust the brightness, color, and other properties of images. You can also draw custom
shapes and modify both predrawn and custom shapes. This chapter tells you how.
Using Color and Image Fills
You can create interesting effects with color in Keynote. A shape can be filled with
solid color, color gradients, or even with an image, such as a photo or other graphic.
You can also adjust an object’s opacity (transparency). You can even use fill and
opacity effects to modify individual bars or pie wedges in charts.
Selecting Colors
You use the Colors window to select color for text, shapes, backgrounds, and shadows
in Keynote.
To open the Colors window:
 Click Colors in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Colors).
 Click a color well in one of the inspectors.
