Hi Peter,

One point not already mentioned:  If one modifies a referenced 
external image, one only needs to replace the original image in the 
referenced folder; if one modifies an imported image, the original 
image must be deleted from and the new image must be imported into, 
each stack that uses it.  (In other words, the Rev Dev isn't needed 
to update referenced images but it is required to update imported 
images.)

BTW, there is a third option: place the images in a library stack 
that is put in use by the working stack...then one can replace the 
image library stack without modifying the working stack.
