Changing the Active Path

The active path is the current location of the inserted image file.

Compare the definitions for active path and saved path. The current active path is visible in the list view of the Image Manager toolspace when you select the image. This is also where any changes to the image are saved if you click Raster Tools tab Insert & Write panel Save on the ribbon.

If you want to edit an image without changing the original version, you should save a copy in a different location and file format. To do this, on the ribbon, click Raster Tools tab Insert & Write panel Save As . Doing this also directs the active path to the copy. For more information, see Saving an Image to Another File Name, Type, or Location.
