Adding a Tracing Image
You may already have mockup images of one or more pages. If so, you can add them as guides for placing assets on
your pages. Similar to using tracing paper to trace over an image, you can place a mockup image on the page and control
its opacity, so that you can see the mockup as a tracing image behind the actual page.
To assign the mockup image as a tracing image:
1. Click the blank page in the Canvas to select it, or select Page in the Page Outline pane on the lower left side of the
Project Editor.
After selecting the page, the page properties appear in the Properties pane on the right side of the Project Editor.
2. Drag the mockup image from the Assets pane to the tracing image well in the Properties pane (as shown in Figure
3-9 on page 37, with a mockup image titled "Home.png").

3. Click the Tracing Image option above the tracing image well to turn it on.
After clicking this option, the tracing image appears on the page.
4. Drag the Opacity slider, which is beneath the tracing image well, to the left in order to decrease the tracing image
opacity so that it fades out, as shown in Figure 3-10 on page 38, making the page and the elements you add to the
page more visible.
