Adding images

To add an image from the Library:

1. If the Library is not already open click the Task Panes toolbar button, and click the Library tab.

2. In the Library's top pop-up menu select Images.

3. Select an image category from the list, or enter an image keyword in the search field at the bottom of the window.

4. Drag the image from the Library window to the map or topic notes. On the map, a visual cue will show you the new location for the image inside a topic, or as a new topic or floating image.

Tip: To create a floating image, press the Shift key as you drag the image onto the map. This prevents it from attaching to a topic. Floating images are added as an image inside a floating topic.

To add an image from a file:

1. Select the topic where you want to add an image, and click the Image toolbar button. Or control-click the topic, then choose Insert Image > From File.
   To create a floating image on the map's background, control-click the background, choose Insert Floating Image > From File, then click where you want to add the image.

2. Navigate to the image you want to add and click Open. Supported image formats include BMP, EXR, GIF, JPEG, PSD, PICT, PNG, SGI, TGA, and TIFF.

   If you open a large image its size may be reduced when it is added to the map. You can re-size it once it is added.

Tip: To add an image from a file to the Notes, drag it from the Finder to a location inside the Notes window. Images cannot be re-sized in the notes so set them to the desired size before adding them to the note.
