Topic: 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.

Re: Repositioning picture in a frame

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.

Doesn’t the ‘Select Cropped Item(s)’ thingy [technical term™] do the same job? https://punster.me/images/unsure.gif

Re: Repositioning picture in a frame

I thought that "select cropped items" would do it also. But, I must be then missing one more step, as I continue to get only the frame selected.

Hiya, Karen!!


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

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. https://punster.me/images/tongue.gif

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.
