document management, engineering, mapping, and geographic information
systems (GIS). Images can be bitonal, 8-bit gray, 8-bit color, or 24-bit color.
Images with 16-bit color depth are not supported.
Several image file formats support images with transparent pixels. When image
transparency is set to on, the program recognizes those transparent pixels and
allows graphics in the drawing area to “show through” those pixels. (In bitonal
images, background pixels are treated as transparent.) Transparent images can
be gray-scale or color.
NOTE Although the file name extension is listed in the following table, the file
format is determined from the file contents, not from the file extension.
Use the Ribbon Contextual Tab to Work with Raster Images
If you select an image when the ribbon is active, the Image Ribbon Contextual
tab displays. The contextual tab contains options for adjusting, clipping and
displaying images. The ribbon contextual tab is dismissed automatically after
the image is deselected.
