Pictures not showing in Resource Manager

[DavidGB]

It would appear that pictures which are saved as assets do not appear in the Resource Manager. Is this correct? Is there a way that I can view used assets in the Resource Manager? My documents are all setup to embed images.

If I:

1. Place an image file (TIFF, JPG, PNG) into a Publisher document (giving an (Image) layer); and
2. Create an Asset from that layer;
3. Then when I use that Asset in another Publisher document it does show up in the Resource Manager.

However, if I rasterize the layer after step 1, so it is a (Pixel) layer, and then create the Asset, the behavior will be different. After dragging that Asset into a document it will not show up in the Resource Managerwhen they are used later. And that is correct, in my opinion.

Note that in 1.9 (currently in beta) there's a new capability via the Layers menu to convert a pixel layer into an image layer. Once you have done that the new image layer will show up in the Resource Manager.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I guess I didn't read the release notes carefully enough (when will I learn to do so).

And if you go to the resource manager and make the new image linked instead of embedded it will save it with _1.tiff for a name and format in whatever folder you choose. Super cool.

This was EXTREMELY helpful.
