Workflow behavior

When replacing an image,
  • The aspect ratio of the new image is maintained within the bounding box of the old image. See the GIFs below for a quick walk-through.
  • In a Fluid Box (Master Slide or Static), the aspect ratio of the new image is not maintained.
  • In a smart shape, the new image retains the properties of the older image.
