Can I loop three images that dissolve one after another within in one slide of my presentation? I know you can loop an entire show, but I want the images to loop as a prelude until I hit the space bar to start my presentation.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Keynote
as you noted, Keynote can only loop a complete presentation, so the workaround is to loop a small presentation then hyperlink to a separate main presentation:
put the three images in 3 separate slides
set the transition on each slide as you want
set to loop slide show in; inspector > document
to make the presentation seamless:
place a shape botom right of each slide hyperlinked to the 2nd slide show
inspector > hyperlink
enable hyperlink
link to Keynote file
lastly make both presentation play on open
inspector > document > automatically play on open

Thanks Gary!
I thought of another solution. Set up a mini slide show, then export it in Quicktime. Place the Quicktime movie - set on loop - in my Keynote presentation.When I hit advance it moves right to the next slide.
If you need to play photos slideshow without controls and then switch anytime to Keynote slideshow:
1. Put all photos to some folder
2. Remove them from Keynote
3. Open System preferences → Desktop
4. Click + in left-bottom corner and select folder with photos
5. Check Change picture, select e.g. Every 5 seconds
Then there will be photos slideshow always when Keynote presentation is turned off.
Also keep an eye on correct configuration of Spaces or Display mirroring.
