- [Instructor] You can also import
bitmap or raster graphics into Adobe XD
and there's a couple things you need to watch out for,
so first off, go to File, Import
and you can import JPEG files
as well as PNG and even GIF.
Now, when it comes to animated GIF,
it's just going to bring in the first frames.
That's the first thing you need to watch out for.
Second thing is the size.
It's going to bring in everything at half the size
because it's going to assume
that you're going to export everything
at twice the size
for high DPI devices.
So, notice how this says dimensions
are 3840 by 2400,
this is twice the size
and then some of 1920,
so with it selected,
I'm going to select Import.
Sure enough, with it still selected it says 1920,
so it's going to bring in everything at half the size
so you can export it out safely.
And once you bring it in,
you can size it down any way you want.
It's going to be constrained
which totally works.
You can scale up from the center
by holding down the alt or option key
but I want to go beyond this
because I'm thinking you know what?
I want it to actually just kind of fill this area
and what you can do there
is actually just select a rectangle
or even use an ellipse
and draw out a container.
From there you can actually go to your images
wherever they may be,
selecting those images,
in this case I'm going to select a different one,
Background3 and you can drag and drop
into a container if you will,
so whether it's an ellipse or a rectangle
and watch these properties.
Essentially this gives me this flexibility,
it's actually covering the image.
I actually like that better.
I think it's a little bit easier to work with
and nonetheless what I can do
is I can delete this initial background right here,
just delete it
and take this Background3
and drag it down.
Again, I'm in my Layers panel
and then I can just kind of resize it
but I like that it's covered
and that looks great.
A third way to bring in images
is by going to File and bringing in assets
from a CC library that you might have.
So, just Open CC Libraries,
you can drag in those images,
whatever you want
and not only that, you can also do an easy copy and paste
if it's a bitmap image.
