Import bitmaps

You can import a bitmap into a drawing either directly or by linking it to an external file. When you link to an external file, edits to the original file are automatically updated in the imported file. After you import a bitmap, the status bar provides information about its color mode, size, and resolution. For more information about importing bitmaps, see Import files. For more information about managing externally linked bitmaps, see Bookmarks and hyperlinks.

You can also resample or crop a bitmap while importing. For more information, see To resample a bitmap while importing and To crop a bitmap while importing.
