I have some photos that I have put in my book. But I want to write directly on the photo. When I insert the photo in a chapters. It acts like a separate section from the words.
For example, If I have a picture of a little girl. I want to be able to write sassy sandy on the photo not as a text under the photo.
If you place your image from an external file using Insert > Image Linked to File, then the image you see in the Editor stays linked with that external file. Control-clicking on the image gives you a pop-up menu with two interesting options. 1) Open in External Editor – with which you can call up your external app to draw on the image and resave it. This will edit the external file. 2) Reload from Original Image – which updates the image Scriv is showing you if you edited the external file.
In fact, since down in the Research folder images can be stand-alone Binder items, you can place your images there and then use Insert > Image Linked to Document, and achieve the same effect as the above, except all of the image files you would be effecting would reside inside Scrivener.
I am not sure what platform you are on. I reference here the Mac version of Scrivener.
