How to replace images
There might be times where you'd like to replace one image for another without losing the properties of the existing image. Image properties include image name, size, opacity, location, background color, borders, padding and more. To preserve the properties of an existing image, use the Replace Image tool.
- Click on an existing image. In our example, we've set a few options to illustrate the point: take note of the options in the Image Properties panel on the right.
- Right click on the image to show a pop-up menu.
- Click on Replace Image to display the Image Manager.
- Locate the replacement image from the list of images, or upload it, then click on it.
The old image will be replaced with the new image:
- Check the Image Properties panel: the properties from the previous image should persist, which might cause a stretched image if the new image is a different size.
- If the image is skewed, right-click on it and click on Reset Image Size from the pop-up menu. The image will be reset to its original size without losing any of its other properties.
