How do I edit a bg image?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Hey Tim,

There are no bg images in REV. All images are just images!?! You can 
however treat an image as a bg group and have it show up on all newly 
created cards or you can use "place" to place the bg group on an 
existing card, in effect this acts similar to HC then but with more 
power. If your HC project has a lot of the same images on each card and 
they were converted to a single image on each card in REV then it would 
be worth your time to delete the extras except the first card and group 
that image and place on each card/auto place on new cards. This way if 
you edit the one image it will show up on all cards.

Now, to edit your images (all images) select the image and in the 
properties panel for the image there is a pencil button that will open 
the image in your chosen image editor (if you have not chosen one a 
dialog will open asking you to pick one - Photoshop in my case).

Then the image will open in your chosen editor and when you are done 
you will close/save the image in the editor and go back to REV and hit 
update and there you have it - image edited.

This works on linked (files on your HD) images in REV and also images 
that only exist in REV with no external file.
