It's the first stand-up pitch like this I've done in quite a while and I was pleased that it seemed to go down pretty well with the audience who were engaged and asking questions.</p> <p>The presentation was written in <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/pro/">OmniOutliner Pro</a> using the <a href="http://sociablemedia.typepad.com/beyond_bullets/">Beyond Bullet Points</a> methodology, then designed in <a href="http://www.apple.com/iwork/keynote/">KeyNote</a> with diagrams created in <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/pro/">OmniGraffle Pro v4</a> and photos from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000DB4BE/202-1595671-8514224">Hemera BizArt</a> and then (because I forgot the VGA adapter for my PowerBook) exported to a QuickTime movie and played on a PC. All-in-all despite the last minute technical glitch everything went very well.</p> <p>But there's a catch. I have 36 slides of which 26 have photos taken from the BizArt collection. I dragged them directly from the BizArt application into KeyNote rather than exporting them from BizArt and importing them in KeyNote. And here's the catch, dragging them embeds them as full-scale TIFF images which means that when I save the presentation to, say, PowerPoint it ends up being 20mb!</p> <p>I've looked at the KeyNoteUser site and searched Google but can't find an easy way to get all the images in the KeyNote presentation converted to JPG or PNG to save space. I am now presented with the possibility of having to redo all 26 images manually which I don't fancy at all.</p> <p>Can anyone think of a clever work-around?</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00003022.html
