To continue importing the image, select it and click on the position in your design
where you would like it to appear. Repeat to continue placing copies of the image.
Tip: You can also add scanned images to a design. Refer to “Scanning Artwork” for more
information.
Saving an embedded image
When importing, opening or placing an image in an OMEGA job, you can save the original
image job in the PLT file. Choose the box Embedded in the Image Fill dialog box to have the
image embedded in your PLT file. If that box is unchecked than the image is linked with a file
path name.
Changing from a linked to an embedded image
When importing, opening, or placing an image in an OMEGA job, you can embed the original
image in the PLT file or you can link to the original image file. The default setting is to link the
image. Once an image is embedded it cannot be unembedded. You must delete the image and
reimport it as linked. You can embed a linked image after it is imported. Select the image and
turn on the Embedded check box in the Image Fill dialog box.
Tip: Click the Info << button in the Image Fill dialog box to the view the image path and the
name of the original file. This information is helpful when searching for the location of a linked
image file.
