Editing an image

You can edit an image after you have created and added it to the title. Additionally, you can convert and share the image. Images are edited using the Snagit Editor.

When you install Lectora, the Snagit Editor is specified as the default editor for editing images. You can specify the editor application used by the program to externally edit resource image files used within a title. For example, you can specify to open Windows Paint for editing images. For details, see Specifying editor preferences.
