Images

All imported images are in the Image Pool. For more information, see Pool windows.

We advise that you keep the image pool as small as possible. For example, keep the maximum image size below 64MB. Do not exceed an image resolution higher than 1920 x 1080.

Images can be used for appearances. Read more in the Create appearances topic.

 Edit an image pool object using one of two options:

• Press Edit and then tap the desired pool object.
• Open the swipey commands on the pool object and choose Edit.
