on the notes toolbar.On the main toolbar, click Topic - Image - From file.
You can add pictures to your text notes from the MindManager image library or from a file. Images from files can be embedded and saved with the map document or referenced via a link to keep the map file small. Initially, the image is added at its original size but you can re-size it and edit it as needed. Images added to a note can be saved on disk.
To add an image from the MindManager Library to the note:
Place the cursor inside the note at the location for the image.
Click the Library tab and drag the image from the Library pane into the note. (Caution - if you just click the image it will be added to the current topic, not to the note.)
To add an image from a file to the note:
Place the cursor inside the note at the location for the image.
Do one of the following:
Click the Add
Image button on the notes toolbar.
On the main toolbar, click Topic - Image - From file.
Select the image you want to include in the note.
Click the Insert button to embed the image (or click the drop-down arrow and click Insert and link to link to it).
Shortcut: You can paste an image into a note that you've copied from another application. Once you've cut or copied it, position your cursor in the Note and press Ctrl+V or click Edit - Paste.

You may prefer to link to images from files rather than embedding them because:
You want to keep the map file size small
The image will change and you want to see only the current version of it
If you choose the Insert and Link option when inserting an image, you will link to the source image. Each time you view the notes, the image is updated.
To update the image manually:
Right-click the image.
Select Refresh Image.
You can choose to link or embed an image after its been added:
Right-click the image.
Select Format Image.
Enable or disable the Link to image option as desired.
If you enable the link, enter (browse to) the file's location.
Note: If the source file is moved or deleted, you will see a broken image link displayed rather than the image. Use steps above to correct the file location for an image that's been moved.
You have the option to embed linked images when exporting the map to Word using the Tools - Options - Notes settings for Export conversions (RTF) That way, the image is included with the exported files, rather than just including a reference.
Relative or absolute paths for linked images are stored according to the Properties- Summary options for hyperlinks, but you can change this setting for individual images.
To set the path for an individual image to relative or absolute:
Right-click the image.
Select Format Image. You'll see the default path setting (relative or absolute.)
Set the Store this image path as: option as desired.
Hint: Click the Defaults button to change the default path setting for all subsequently added images.
Hint: You can add a hyperlink to an image, for example, a button image that you can click on to jump to a web page or to begin an e-mail.
To resize an image:
Select the image in the note.
Drag the handles to change the image size.
Hold Ctrl while you drag the corner handles to maintain the image's aspect ratio.
Hint: if you know that you want the image to be a specific size (in pixels), right-click the image and select Format Image to specify the dimensions.
You can return the image to its original size with a right click and selecting Reset Image Size.
You can edit linked images from files in place in the note.
To edit linked images from files:
Right-click the image and select Open Source.
The image is opened in its associated application so you can edit it.
After editing, save the modified image
In MindManager, right-click the image and select Refresh Image to see the updated picture. The image is also re-read (and updated) automatically each time the topic is selected.
MindManager library images and embedded images from files cannot be edited in place, but you can edit the library image or edit the original file externally and then re-add the modified image.
You can save any image included in a note, regardless of its origin, to a disk file.
To save an image to disk:
Right-click the image.
Select Save image, choose the file location and enter a file name. You will have a choice of several formats in the Save As pulldown that depend on the image's original format.
