Hi Branden, Import is not ready for primetime, its not finished. It was originally conceived for non-standard import of images. Typically where you want the rendered image to be a precise size (i.e. fill to the edges of an A4 page), ignoring the XY ratio. Also a way of importing an image tile to be used as a pattern tile as a background to the page, or be used as a fill colour. Neither purpose is finished. Cheers Deri
