Using Keynote, please tell me how I can size images in one direction only - e.g to elongate a picture. It should be really simple, as in Powerpoint, or as with a Textbox, by dragging one of the "handle" squares on one side of the frame. However, I find that when I do this with an image, it resizes the whole picture using its original proportions. Help!
Keynote-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
In inspector, click on the metrics tab (4th from the right) and unclick the box labeled, "Constrain Proportions."
I was looking for this too! - and I've just found a much easier way (but it is 3 years later than this post LOL). Simpley click on the "Edit Mask" button (located on the bottom of any image), you will then be able to freely edit/crop/position your picture - phew!
Hope this helps. I would like to be able to type place holder "titles" directly where it says "Drag an object here" on a placeholder box but I have to create a new text box. Any ideas?
In Keynoye 6.2, select the image and click the mask button on the button bar or command shift M
Image placeholders hold images only, insert text into a text box and position over the image.
You can lock the text over the image by selecting both (arrange > group) or option command G
