# Working with Images

### Inserting images

Inserting images manually in the product editor using the traditional image browser gives you maximum control over your image selection.

Use the directory browser in the object browser to access the directory containing your images.

Select the thumbnail for the required photo in the object browser, hold down the left mouse button, and drag the image into the product editor.

The drop-down menu (right click the thumbnail in the directory browser) offers various sorting options, including alphabetical by name and chronological by creation date.
If you select "Sort by color", the images in the current directory are shown grouped by color mood in a separate program window. Double clicking the image inserts it into the product window.

The thumbnails of images you have already used in the product are checked in the object browser. You can drag an image into the product editor multiple times, e.g. if you want to print a different size, or edit the same image using different functions in the photo viewer.

Additionally, a selection of Assistants is available. For more details on the Assistants refer to the individual chapters.

### Editing Images

The software gives you the option of editing images.
These functions are described in the chapter "Photo Viewer".

### Removing Images from the Product Editor

To remove an image from the product editor, first select the image (click on it) and then press the button "Remove selected elements from selection", or press the "Del" key on your keyboard.

Selected images are identifiable by the highlighting frame drawn round the image.
To select multiple consecutive images at the same time, use the mouse to draw a frame around the images you want to select, or select the first image you want to remove, hold down the shift key on your keyboard, and click the last image you want to select.

To select (or deselect) multiple non-consecutive images hold down the "Ctrl" key and click with the mouse.
