daibhidh Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I wanted to place/align/edit 33 images for a short video segment. I found reference to a 'Place Image Tool' to do place multiple images, but it doesn't appear on among the tools on my system. Is this a Mac only thing, and, if so, when is going to be included in the Win version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I am going to guess you are using Photo because the place image tool is available in both Designer and Publisher. Looks like a little picture. You can use the command in the menu File > Place... to choose your photos and place them if you are using Photo.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daibhidh Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thanks for the reply, Bruce, but File > Place only adds one file at a time. 'Place Image Tool' supposedly can add all 33 in one fell swoop. I wonder why that tool is missing from Photo for Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, you can only place one at time in your document, ie; drawing out 33 times. But you can load up the Place command with numerous images.

And that's exactly what you would need to do if you used the Place Image Tool rather than File > Place. The capabilities are identical, it's only the interface to access the system's file manager dialog that differs.

daibhidh Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Ah, I see...I just have to keep clicking. I obviously didn't read the help file carefully enough, or maybe it's time to get cataract surgery. The images in this case were frames from a shaky hand-held video. I needed to align the backgrounds to mask a sequence of a walking cow for another video. I didn't see an option to align the images based on areas of the image, so did this manually--a real pain, but it all worked out. Anyway, I'm edified and sure this will be a time saver in the future. Thanks much to all for taking the time to straighten me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
