Adding Photos to Slides

Your photos are now ready to be added to the travel presentation you have been building. The theme we are using contains photo cutouts. Photo cutouts are automatically included in your presentation when you choose slide masters with a photo in them. You can include an image that will appear through the cutout window.

1.	Open the file 02Presentation1_Stage1.key in the Lesson 02 folder.
2.	Open the Media Browser by clicking the Media button at the top of your document window.
3.	Choose iPhoto from the Media Browser pop-up menu and click the SF Travel Photos album.
4.	Click slide 2 in the slide organizer. The Cable Car slide is now selected.
5.	Drag the photo phot_cable_car.jpg to the cutout window in the slide canvas.
6.	Resize the image within the cutout by dragging a corner selection handle (click the corner of the image). Position the photo within the cutout window by dragging the image to adjust its position to taste. Any portion of the image that extends beyond the cutout window will be hidden when you present your Keynote presentation.
7.	From the Media Browser, add the photo golden_gate_dusk.jpg to slide 3. Size the image and position it within the cutout window.
8.	Add the image phot_china_town.jpg to slide 4. The image is very large, and you won't be able to see the corner handles that let you resize the image.
9.	Open the Inspector window and click the Metrics Inspector button. Set the height to 600 px (so the image fits on the slide) and position the image within the photo cutout.
10.	Add the image phot_fishermans_wharf.jpg to slide 5. Size and position the image using the same techniques as for the previous slide.

Straightening a Photo

The photo that we want to add to our sixth slide needs a little extra fixing.

1.	Select slide 6: Mission Dolores.
2.	Add the image phot_mission_dolores.jpg to the slide.
3.	In the Metrics Inspector, set the image height to 650 px to scale the image down. The photo is crooked and needs to be straightened.
4.	Choose View > Show Rulers to display the rulers.
5.	Drag a guide from the ruler toward the bottom of the photo. Drag it near the edge of the sidewalk.
6.	Select the image in the slide canvas by clicking it.
7.	Select the Metrics Inspector to access the image properties. Set the angle of the image to 0.9°. Determining the right number is a matter of trial and error. You can use alignment guides to assist you. The image is now level. While it's a minor adjustment, it is an important one.

Masking a Photo

Often a photo will not be shaped right for your slide. By masking an image, you can change its shape by hiding parts of it. Masking can help improve the overall layout of the slide.

1.	Select slide 1 in the slide organizer.
2.	Drag the photo ggate_bay_day.jpg from the Media Browser onto the canvas of slide 1.
3.	In the Metrics Inspector, set the width to 1024 px so the image fits on the slide.
4.	Drag the photo to reposition it on the slide. Use the alignment guides to center the image horizontally, and line up the bottom of the image with the bottom of the slide.
5.	Choose Format > Mask. Keynote adds a mask to the image that can be resized or repositioned.
6.	Drag the corners of the mask so the left and right edges extend beyond the border of the slide. Drag the top and bottom edges to approximately match the image shown here.
7.	Press Return to apply the mask. You can check your progress against the file 02Presentation1_Stage2.key.
