346 Photo Handling

term "bitmap" is the general term encompassing all types, but interchangeable with the
word "photo".

The easiest way to open an image is to drag the photo or bitmap file from your Windows
file explorer onto the Designer Pro Window. The photo is imported at the position you
drop it. Or you can select the "FILE" > "OPEN" or IMPORT menu options.

You can select multiple photo files in the file dialog by clicking with Shift or Ctrl held down
to add to the selection, just as in Windows Explorer, to open or import multiple photos.

You can also import stock photos from the Online Content Catalog through the File menu
"FILE" > "NEW FROM CONTENT CATALOG". Or you can replace a photo by right-clicking it,
and then choosing "REPLACE PHOTO" > "WITH STOCK PHOTO" from the context menu.

Replacing photos
If you drag and drop a photo file (from Windows Explorer or from the Bitmap Gallery)
onto an existing photo it will replace that photo, but keep the same container or frame
size.
