Images embedded in

Title Pages

may be locked, or they may be editable stand-ins. When you roll the mouse

over an embedded image and a white border is displayed around the image, the image is a

stand-in

. Click a

stand-in to open the

Media Browser

and select a replacement image file (hold Shift while clicking to use the

system file explorer instead).

FIGURE 152

If, instead, you right-click a stand-in image, a context menu lets you select one of several optional methods of
fitting the source image to its frame. Choosing

Stretch

causes the image to completely fill the frame.

Fill Area

retains the interested image’s original aspe

ct, cropping if necessary to fit inside the frame.

Show All Image

also retains the original image aspect but fits the entire source image inside the frame (which

may result in ‘pillar

-

boxing’ or ‘letter

-

boxing’)

. This menu also allows you to open the

Image Properties

panel

(Figure 152). It provides the same set of

Fill Mode

options but adds an

Image Source

box supporting direct

entry. The

Image Source

box comes into play in connection with the next (extremely important) topic
