How to Add an Image in Illustrator

From freem


To add an image in Illustrator, follow these steps:

1. Open Adobe Illustrator and create a new document.

2. Go to "File" > "Place" to select the image you want to add. Alternatively, you can also drag and drop the image file directly onto the Illustrator artboard.

3. Use the cursor to position the image on the artboard. You can also resize the image by clicking and dragging any of its corners.

4. To edit the image, double-click on it to open it in a separate window. You can then make changes to the image using Adobe Photoshop or another image editing program.

5. To apply effects to the image, use the "Effect" menu in Illustrator. For example, you can add a drop shadow, blur, or other visual effects to the image.

6. Save your Illustrator file once you have added and edited the image.

That's it! You have successfully added an image to your Illustrator project.
