- On the ribbon, click
Raster Tools tab
Insert & Write panel
Insert.
- In the
Insert Image dialog box, navigate to the folder where the image is located using one of the following methods:
- Select the drive and folder using standard Windows navigation procedures.
- Click an icon on the Places List on the left side of the dialog box to navigate directly to a location such as Documents or the Desktop folder.
- In the
Files of Type box, select the file format of the images you want to insert.
Note: If you want to insert more than one image type at a time, select All Images.
- From the list of images, select the image(s) you want to insert. You can use standard Windows selection methods to select more than one image at a time, or click the Favorites button to select a shortcut to an image in a familiar location.
- To view information about an image, such as file type and creation date, before you insert it, click
Views
Information.
- To display a preview of the image, click
Views
Preview. Click
Open.
This preview setting is especially useful if you are inserting a multi-frame image, as it enables you to preview each frame of the image set.
Note: When you insert more than one image at a time, the default correlation information is used for the images. The images are inserted automatically into the drawing and the Correlation Wizard is not displayed. - In the
Insert Options section, select a correlation method:
- Quick Insert automatically inserts the image using correlation values embedded in the image file, correlation data stored in a separate file, or using default correlation values.
- Insertion Wizard divides the insertion process into a series of steps that can vary depending on image type: assigning a color map, specifying a correlation source, setting various positioning values, and transforming coordinate systems. This method is recommended for new or intermediate users.
- Insertion Dialog provides the same functions as the Insertion Wizard, but without the step-by-step process. You can change settings on the tabs of the dialog box in any order, then apply them to the image. This method is recommended for advanced users.
- If you want to display only the frame of the image you insert, select the Show Frames Only check box.
- If you are inserting multiple images that you want to view as a multispectral set, select Treat as Multispectral.
- To zoom to the extents of the image(s) you insert after correlation, select Zoom to Image(s).
- After configuring the insert options, select the image or images to insert.
- If you are inserting a multi-frame image, under Multi-frame Options, specify whether to insert only the first frame, all frames, or a selection of frames. If you choose the latter, you will see the Multi-frame Select Dialog Box after you click Open.
- Click Open to insert the image or images.
