Editing Bitmap Images

In Designer, you can move, resize, delete, and reorder (move it to the front, for example) a bitmap image. Using the bitmap editing features of Designer, you can also flip horizontally or vertically, duplicate, and crop a bitmap, and you can color a bitmap image if you have imported it as monochrome.

Use Picture Publisher or another image editor when you want to edit a bitmap image extensively.

Bitmaps can add variety and visual appeal to your drawings. Here are some examples of what you can do with bitmaps.

• Add scanned photographs to a report or presentation.
• Use a bitmap as a background for your illustration.
• Create a library of bitmap images to use in your drawings.
• Trace bitmaps and then edit the tracing like an ordinary Designer object.
• Add text, borders, or a drop shadow to enhance the bitmap.

You can print a bitmap on a printer, but not on a pen plotter.
