Filling an object or a layout part with an image
You can fill an object or a layout part with an image. Supported image formats include .png, .bmp, .tif, .gif, or .jpg.
When you fill an object with an image, the image is stored in the FileMaker Pro file and appears in every record that uses the layout. You can also insert an image onto a layout, which lets you reference the image from another file. For more information, see Inserting graphics onto a layout.
To fill an object or a layout part with an image:
1.
In Layout mode, select one or more objects or a layout part.
See Selecting objects.
2.
Click Inspector Inspector button in the layout bar, then click Appearance. Choose from the options in the Graphic area.
3.
For Fill, click Image.
4.
Click Choose, select an image file and click Insert.
5.
 
Note  Sliced object fills do not display lines or rounded corners, and circles display as square images.

If an image is larger than 20MB, FileMaker Pro reduces the size to 20MB.

You can also insert graphics as data into container fields. Do this when you have a different graphic for each record, such as employee photos in an employee directory database table. For more information, see Inserting graphics into fields.
