It's no 3D material, but 70 free objects is good enough for the average user

iPresentee is introducing its free Keynote Objects for use with Apple's Keynote, iWeb and Pages, but also Microsoft's... stuff. While the guys at Jumsoft also have a collection of 3D images and objects adding as many as 70 more items with the latest release, the latter costs, while the former doesn't. That's right, iPresentee's Keynote Objects collection is free!

The package includes 100 colorful and attractive objects, spanning all possible themes that you could use in a paper, presentation, blog and so on. The background is, of course, transparent and can be used on any colored background, while objects can be changed in size, rotated, increased or decreased in opacity, fitted with shadows or overlapped with one another.

Keynote Objects are compatible with Apple's Keynote, iWeb, Pages, but also with Microsoft's PowerPoint and Word. All files and folders in the disk should be left unchanged, if you want to use them again and again, properly. The best thing you can do, should you need to modify any of the objects, is to save them elsewhere, or at least rename them.

Working with the objects couldn't be easier. Adding an object to Keynote presentation can be achieved by dragging the object file from the Finder window to the slide canvas or to a media placeholder, after which you must choose Insert, select object file and then click Insert.

You're probably going to want to resize objects as well, since their default size is already too big for any presentation. What you need to do here is select the object and then drag one of its selection handles. To resize an object in one direction, drag a side handle instead of a corner handle. To resize the object from its center, press the Option key as you drag. More such instructions are available as soon as you download the Keynoye Objects dmg file.

You may use iPresentee's objects for your work, but you are not authorized to duplicate or distribute the data, either as a whole or just a part, to any third party, nor are you to permit others to use the data on a time-sharing or any other basis, without the express prior written permission of the developers.
