Images imported to Keynote get automatically downsampled, although downsampling/resizing is unchecked
Hi!
We encountered a problem on Keynote 6, we don't have, using Keynote 0.9. Sometimes we need to import really large Images into our slides, to demonstrate webdesign to our client. We have to handle some really big images.
We are not using the downsampling (fitting size of pics to slide) feature built in Keynote, because, showing designs, we need crisp pngs with neat quality.
We tried to import one picture with 4400 px height. Keynote kept downsampling the image, no matter how we tried to import, paste or drop it. Cutting our PNG to about 3000 px height helped, but we really need to import it in its original size 4400 px.
Having a look at the filename in the format panel, we discoverd keynote adds a "-small" to the filename, leaving us with images with the name "image-small.png". Replacing it with the bigger picture inside the Keynote zip didn't help either. We definitely unchecked the downsampling checkbox in the properties, but the filename indicates, he downsampled it anyhow.
Now we are really frustrated with the Keynote 6 version. It kept bugging us with other little pixel errors, like not allowing us to position pictures on one precise pixel numeric value. But having blurry pictures in a design-based presentation forced us to go back to Keynote 0.9, which handles our large image just fine.
Anybody encountered some similar issues?
We're quite clueless now.
thx, Silke.
