Importing an image

[Pete Haworth]

I totally missed the "paint" keyword in the dictionary but all is well now.

The reason I was doing this is because took a PNG snapshot of a group
control into an image control, then tried to resize the image control, but I
found that the image lost definition very quickly.  My solution was to
export to a file, resize it in Photoshop, then import it.  Maybe there's a
way to do the resizing in LC without losing definition?
