Subtitles of the Movie (Apple iWork 08 / Cool Keynote Tips / Add a Picture Frame)
Another cool little tip here to add some visual flair and some visual appeal to an image that's in the slideshow is to add a frame. So this could be a way to set it apart, to make it look that it is something that has been almost manually laid into the presentation. But you have in a standard presentation, this is a smart build, you probably saw this from a previous module, but the image here is going to be flat. If you want it to look more like, oh let's take a picture that's in one of the templates here, so if you want your pictures to look more like that and you want to have some control over it, I'll show you how to do that here. So, that's what this module is all about, is creating that little torn effect or as you can see here in just a moment, you have more options then just that. So let's say I want to do this to the picture here, what I want to choose, once again is the inspector and I'll choose the graphic inspector and again I don't have that picture chosen just yet, so I'm going to click on it, to choose it. Now this is a smart build, so here comes my smart build rectangle, so I'm going to close it out. But this is still selected here and in the stroke section of the graphic inspector, once again, I can either surround this image with a line, and then I have some line options or even better a picture frame. So now with the picture frame I choose from a dropdown list of how I want that picture frame to look. So there's one of my options for picture, here is that torn picture type of an option. So it looks like that. I can add a shadow if I want to, which is kind of a built in shadow look to that but that will be more dramatic if I add something like, oh let's do that and let's make a shadow. So you can see here that it kind of gives it a 3-D appeal, you can change the angle if you want to of that shadow and you can change the offset and the blur and just use these options as you see fit as you see works the best for whatever you want to accomplish with your picture. So at the end of the day after adding a picture frame to your pictures you have a possibly, a better looking picture and I still have that smart build within. So the picture is within there, in fact I can show this in the inspector just to combine the two items here. I still have the ability with the picture frame to flip and to use that transition as you can see. So again, add some more visual appeal, use a picture frame.
