After upgrading to Keynote 6.1, I'm having problems when rotating images that I've imported to my slides. Any time I rotate an image that's not on a 45, 90, 180 angle, the image has jagged edges.
Here's a screenshot as an example. The image is on 4 degree angle.
Any ideas?

Images that are prone to show "jaggies" have small pixel rezolution, small file size and use image compression such as JPEG. Conversly the opposite will provide good quality images.
Thanks, Gary, for your reply. That definitely makes sense. What's puzzling is that I've tested both jpeg and png files and all of my images are a minimum .5-1mb with high resolution/pixel size.
It doesn't matter how I resize them in my slides. If I rotate them in Keynote, they produce those "jaggies". Bizarre (and frustrating).
Any other suggestions?
Sorry, in haste I forgot to mention this also:
Use an appropriate slide size, as a minimum resolution I match the slide size (Keynote > Inspector > Setup Slide Size), to the resolution of the display I am using, in my case 1920 x 1200.
I always resize the images I bring into Keynote with the same pixel resolution as the slide size.
Thanks, Gary. Tried this approach as well and I'm still getting jagged edges.
Trying to rotate my images on a 4 degree angle and they look horrible.
Appreciate the help. Is it possible it's a bug?
It seems this hasn't been solved 1.5 years later.
I have 100% the same problem.
Weird though that the 45 degrees angel doesn't cause the jagged edges. But I was good to read it, because at least it gave me a semi-solution (I put the pic in a 45 degree angle).
Vector based PDFs as images don't have it, and higher resolution photo do impact the size of the jagged edges. But still it looks like poor rendering to me.
