    Default How do I change an image on a template

    I know it should be easy. It's template TX113 and the photo stretches across the whole screen. I can find it in the layers but when I try to replace it with another photo, it peaks out the edges and it doesn't stretch the width of the screen. Is there a video that shows how to change the image in a template? Thanks for any information you can give me.

    Can you drag another image from the desktop or File Explorer onto the image you are trying to replace?

    I had to guess you are using XT113, which is a xaratemplates.com template: https://xaratemplates.com/shop/xara-...t113-template/.
    This is not a Xara design; these are usually better.

    The image is 1920x1301px so you need to ensure a similar width.

    A drag and drop should work. I tried with free XTF01; the original needs to be selected first-off.
    Try Right-click > Replace photo > from file instead.

    All the Web effects should be retained.

    Yessss! it worked. I thought I did that but I must not have held my tongue right. Or...I may not have had the correct size. When I selected the original photo I thought it gave the dimensions 960 x 650.3. Where did you get your dimensions which were obviously correct.

    I Previewed and used the Developers' Toolbox (F12) and searched in the Application > Images.
    These were its native dimensions. Your 960 x 650.3px would be for the non-Retina view.
