Adding Images<br />

Now that you have decided where to place images, let’s<br />

get images and place them on the document. In this<br />

example I will place images from my computer. Later we<br />

will explore adding images from other locations.<br />

Click once on the placeholder and click on edit in the<br />

menu below the placeholder.<br />

Click on the ‘choose image’ button or drag and drop an<br />

image into the upload area.<br />

The drawing app will open. Click on the ‘add image’<br />

button.<br />

In this example I’ve selected an image of the Earth from<br />

space. The image is very large at 1280 by 1280 pixels. I<br />

mention this for two reasons. People will usually select<br />

images that are way too big or too small. Very large<br />

images are easy to resize and not loose quality. In this<br />

image I can resize it and it will still look very good.<br />
