Replacing Template Images with Your Own Images

The photos you see featured in Numbers templates are actually media placeholders.
By dragging your own images to these placeholders, your media is automatically sized,
positioned, and framed to fit the template.

To test whether an image is a placeholder, let the pointer rest over it and see if a help
tag appears instructing you to drag your own file to the placeholder.

Here are ways to work with media placeholders:
To replace a media placeholder with your own image, drag it from the Media Browser,

m

the Finder, or another application to the placeholder.
To resize or reposition your image within a media placeholder, click the Edit Mask

m

button that hovers over the image after you drop it onto the placeholder, and then do
any of the following:
To resize your image within the placeholder, drag the resize handle above the Edit
Mask button.
To reposition your image within the placeholder, position the pointer over the image
(the pointer may appear as a hand), and then drag the image to position it where
you want.
To replace an item you’ve already placed in a media placeholder, drag a new file to it.
You don’t have to delete the old file first.
To reposition a media placeholder on a sheet, drag it.
