Select the object you want to fill with an image.

If the Graphic Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Graphic inspector button.

In the Graphic inspector, choose Image Fill or Tinted Image Fill, and then choose an image.

You can also drag an image file from the Finder or Media Browser to the image well in the Graphic inspector. You can also drag an image to a table cell or chart series.

Choose an image scale from the pop-up menu.

• Scale To Fit:  
  Resizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions as well as possible. If the object’s shape is different from the original image’s, parts of the image may not appear; blank space may also appear around the image.
• Scale To Fill:  
  Makes the image appear larger or smaller, sizing it to leave minimum space around the image, even if the object and image have different shapes.
• Stretch:  
  Sizes the image to fit the object’s dimensions but distorts it if the object has a shape different from that of the original image.
• Original Size:  
  Places the image inside the object without altering its original dimensions. If the image is larger than the object, you see only a part of the image in the object. If the image is smaller than the object, there is blank space around it.
• Tile:  
  Repeats the image inside the object, if the image is smaller than the object. If the image is larger than the object, you see only part of the image inside the object.

If you chose Tinted Image Fill, click the color well (to the right of the Choose button) to choose a tint color. Drag the Opacity slider in the Colors window to make the tint darker or lighter. (If you drag the Opacity slider in the Graphic Inspector, it will change the opacity of both the tint and the image.)
