I imported a photo to use as a tracing layer but now I want to delete the photo - how would I do this? I found you can control opacity in the groups menu but can I delete and also resize and change the photo after I have placed it?

Also, you can use the “DELETE” tool, activate it and just select the image you want to delete.

Just like you would delete any other shape or object.

To resize an image:

- Go to Trasform menu
- Select Freeform
- Select the image you want to modify
- The arrows will appear and you can use those to resize / reposition
