When importing a bitmap image, you have several options available such as where you want to import the file and how to name it.
How to import a bitmap image in its original format
- Do one of the following:
- From the top menu, select File > Import > Images.
- In the File toolbar, click the Import Images
button.
- In the Xsheet view, right-click anywhere in the frame area and select Import > Images.
The Import Images dialog box opens.
- In the Files section of the Import Images dialog box, click Browse to find and select one or more images on your computer.
- Add the bitmap image to a new layer by selecting the Create Layer(s) option and one of the following options:
- Create Single Layer Named: Creates a layer you can name.
- Create Layer(s) Based on Filenames: Creates a layer based on each unique filename prefix. For example, the filenames a-1.tga, a-2.tga and b-1.tga will create layers name "a" and "b", where "a" has two drawings and "b" has one. When creating a single layer from these three filenames, all three drawings will be inserted in the new layers.
- If you would rather import the image to an existing layer, select the Add to Existing Layer option to place the bitmap image on a layer you select from the list. If only vector layers are available in your scene, they will not be displayed in the list.
- In the Transparency section, select an alpha option.
- Click OK.
