Apple Keynote at a glance

Apple Keynote

Keynote emerged as part of Apple's iWork suite and became the Apple-native alternative to PowerPoint, especially in design-sensitive presentation, education, and executive-demo contexts.

DDS grew out of Microsoft's graphics API and game-development ecosystem, which is why it feels more like an engine or texture-delivery format than a conventional consumer image file.
