Inserting pictures from other sources

You can add pictures from several sources:

• The Gallery—see Chapter 14 (Working with the Gallery)
• Directly from a scanner (Insert > Picture > Scan)
• Images created by another program, including photographs from a digitial camera (Insert > Picture > From File)

Draw provides tools for working with bitmap images such as photographs: the Picture toolbar and the bitmap image management palette. See the Draw Guide for details and examples.
