Replacing masked images in Keynote - so that they retain the same dimensions as the replaced image

I found this question twice here and I now got the same problem still! Anyone have a solution?

"Its still unresolved. Does anyone know how to bring in an updated image into Keynote (which I've previously placed and masked in Keynote) so that its replaces it exactly? When I bring the updated image back into Keynote it comes in at a reduced size. How do I get Keynote to replace the image and keep it the same size as before?"

Drop an arbitrary image (including supported RAW images) into Keynote, size accordingly, and from the Format menu > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder. Any supported, same-size image that you drop on that media placeholder will replace the previous image. If the dropped image is larger, it may be cropped to the size of the placeholder image window. There is no automatic resizing with larger images to avoid cropping.

Thank you for your ans, but this is not working as once you resized in the cropping area, and you click replace, it will still replacing with original ratio.
