Resize, move and edit images

Resize an image

  1. Select the topic, then click the image. Handles appear to show that it is selected.

  2. Drag the handles to re-size the image: corner handles maintain the aspect ratio, side handles allow stretching.

To return the image to its original size, right-click, and then click Reset Image Size.

Move an image

Move a floating image

Floating images can be moved freely around the map (just drag them; hold down the Shift key as you drag to prevent them from becoming attached). Attached Images stay inside their associated topics, but they can be copied or moved to another topic or to become a floating image.

If you want images to snap to a grid during drag and drop, enable the Snap to grid... in the MindManager Edit options.

Move or copy an attached image

  1. Select the topic with the image you want to move or copy.

  2. Click the image. Handles will appear to show that it is selected.

  3. Drag the image to a new location.

  4. Visual cues appear to show how the image will be added: green shows it will be attached to the topic (top, bottom, left or right positions), red indicates that it will become a new topic; no cue means the image will become a floating image.

  5. Drop the image at the new location.

Hold CTRL as you drop to copy (instead of move) the image.

Hold SHIFT as you drop to create a floating image at any location.

Delete an image

  1. Select the topic, then click the image. Handles appear to show that it is selected.

  2. Press DELETE.

You can temporarily hide images in Map View using the Show / Hide command.

Edit Library Images

You can edit Library images using the application associated with their format. Note that this application must be capable of editing. If the application is only a viewer, then you cannot edit the image.

Edit an image

  1. Optional If you want to leave the original image unchanged, right-click and click Duplicate.

  2. Right-click the image, then click Open in.

  3. The application associated with the image type will start.

  4. Edit the image and save it. (Note that some applications only allow viewing. If the associated application does not allow editing, you can drag the image from the Library to another application that does.)

  5. The edited image will show in the Library when you click the folder containing it again, or right-click the Library background and click Refresh. (This refreshes the image preview.)
