Opening Images

You can open an image that you have added to your project. When you open the image, it displays in the Image Viewer within Flare.

How to Open an Image

  1. Open the Content Explorer.
  2. Expand the Resources folder, and double-click the Images subfolder. Traditionally, image files are displayed under the Images subfolder (although they can also be placed in custom folders).
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Locate and double-click the image file that you want to open.
    • Locate and click the image file that you want to open. In the local toolbar, click Open.
  4. The image opens in the Image Viewer.

Note You can also right-click on an image where it has been inserted and select Open Link from the context menu.

Note If you have inserted a PDF file as an image, the actual PDF file opens. This is different from other image formats, where the image opens by itself in the Image Viewer.

Note If you have imported a project that already contained images, Flare keeps the images in the file structure of the source project (as opposed to placing the image files in the Resources folder).
