Back on track. That worked a treat, Karen. Thanks

EDIT: Not quire sure what I was doing prior. If I click on "Select cropped items" now, it does indeed allow me to manipulate the image.

Doesn’t the ‘Select Cropped Item(s)’ thingy [technical term™] do the same job?

I've just had a go while I've got CA open, and yes, when I click on "select cropped items" it does let me enlarge/move the photo. Trust me to always find the more convoluted way to play.

Hiya, Karen!!

Hiya, Lon!

Hiya, Karen!!

EDIT Going to layers did the trick. Gosh, so much I've forgotten. All's well. Thanks, Karen.

I click on the frame/picture and then usually go to the Layers Tab, click on the little arrow to the right of the frame/image I want to play with so it opens the item into its component parts, and then click on the Picture.

Repositioning picture in a frame

I may be misremembering, but once a picture is dropped in a frame, isn't there a way to reposition the picture within the frame....fine tuning it? When I double-click the picture-populated frame, I get the frame selected, and not the image within it. So, I can manipulate the frame size, position, and rotation....no problem. However, I can't seem to get the image selected, to further manipulate it.
