Select the group. Edit it. Import an image as a control. Stop editing 
the group.

With "select grouped" chosen in the toolbar, click on the image and hit 
the delete key. Or you can edit the group and delete it that way but it 
isn't necessary.

But for replacing an existing image, I often use a short script. The 
advantage here is that the new image retains the same layer number and 
all the properties I've assigned, and only the image itself changes.

  answer file "choose an image file:"
  put url ("binfile:" & it) into the selobj

Select the image you want to replace with the edit tool, then run that. 
No error checking in there, so make sure you select a real image file.
