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.
Click inside the topic note at the location for the image.
On the Status
Bar, click the Task Panes
button 
, then click Library.
At the bottom of the Library task pane, click Images , then locate the image you want to add.
Drag the image into the note. (Caution If you just click the image it will be added to the current topic, not to the note.)
Click inside the topic note at the location for the image.
Click
Image 
on the Topic
Notes toolbar.
Locate the image you want to add.
Do one of the following:
To embed the image in the map (include the image in the map file) click Insert.
To link to the image (include only a reference to the image file in the map file), click the arrow next to Insert and click Insert and Link.
Not sure which to do? See Linking vs embedding images ▼.
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.
Right-click the image.
Click Refresh Image.
Right-click the image.
Click Format Image.
Enable or disable the Link to image option as desired.
If you enable the link, enter (browse to) the file's location.
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 MindManager Notesoptions 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 - Summaryoptions for hyperlinks, but you can change this setting for individual images.
Right-click the image.
Click Format Image. You'll see the default path setting (relative or absolute.)
Set the Store this image path as: option as desired.
Click Defaults to change the default path setting for all subsequently added images.
See Supported formats and export notes for more information on the types of images you can import.
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.
You can paste an image that you've cut or copied from another application into a note. Click inside the note where you want to place the image and press CTRL+V or, on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click Paste.
You can resize any image or edit linked images in place using MindManager. Images from the Library and embedded images from files cannot be edited in place: Instead you must edit the Library image or edit the original file externally and then re-add the modified image.
Click 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.
If you know that you want the image to be a specific size (in pixels), right-click the image, then click Format Image and specify the dimensions.
You can return the image to its original size - right click, and then click Reset Image Size.
Right-click the image, and then click Open Source.
The image is opened in its associated application so you can edit it.
The associated application must be capable of editing in order for you to change the image.
After editing, save the modified image in the editing application.
In MindManager, right-click the image, and then click Refresh Image to see the updated picture. The image is also re-read (and updated) automatically each time the topic is selected.
You can save any image included in a note, regardless of its origin, to a file.
Right-click the image.
Click Save image, and enter the file's location and name. You will have a choice of several formats in the Save as type list that depend on the image's original format.
Click Save.
