2 In the Graphic Inspector, choose Image Fill from the Fill pop-up menu, and select an
image.
3 To change the image, click Choose, select the image, and click Open (or drag the
image file from the Finder or Media Browser to the image well in the Graphic
Inspector).
4 Choose an image scale from the pop-up menu.
 Scale To Fit resizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions as well as possible. If the
object’s shape is different from the original image’s, parts of the image may not
appear; blank space may also appear around the image.
 Scale To Fill makes the image appear larger or smaller, sizing it to leave minimum
space around the image, even if the object and image have different shapes.
 Stretch sizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions but distorts it if the object has
a shape different from the original image.
 Original Size places the image inside the object without altering its original
dimensions. If the image is larger than the object, you see only a part of the image
in the object. If the image is smaller than the object, there is blank space around it.
 Tile repeats the image inside the object, if the image is smaller than the object. If
the image is larger than the object, you see only part of the image inside the object.
Use the pop-up menu to
set the size of the image
within the object.
To change the image,
drag an image to the
image well.
