To Import External Images

1. Select one or more images in Windows Explorer.

2. Drag the selected images to a folder or the explore panel.

   

3. Select the import settings:

   

   Image Compression: Set the default image compression during import. The following options are available:

   • None: No compression.

   • Select automatically: If the source image has an alpha channel, DXT5 is used. If the source image does not have an alpha channel, DXT1 is used.

   • DXT1: Works best on images without an alpha channel.

   • DXT5: Works best on images with an alpha channel.
     Import bilevel matte type images as RGBA: Applies to monochrome images only. When set, the luminance of monochrome images is treated as an alpha channel. When disabled, the alpha channel is treated as RGBA, while images without alpha channel are treated as RGB.
     Overwrite existing images: Check this checkbox to overwrite images with duplicate file names in the target directory during import. Otherwise, an extension to the file name is added to the newly imported images.

4. Click Import. This opens the Import external files window:

   

5. Set the desired options for the import by checking the appropriate checkboxes, and click Import to perform the operation.

6. After the import process has finished, the results can be investigated in the main section of the import window. Any files that failed to import are marked with a red cross next to the path. If an image fails to import, verify that it is among the supported image formats for import.

   Tip: Importing images to the Graphic Hub using Viz Artist support a wider range of file formats.
