After adding a source image to a group, you'll notice a small image icon appears next to the group in the Layers panel.

This icon tells you that all fills in this group will use this image as their reference.

Want to adjust your source image? Just click on its icon in the Layers panel to select it. Once selected, you can reposition, resize, or make other changes to it.

Show and Hide Source Images

As you work, you'll likely want to adjust how visible your source image is. Vexy Lines makes this easy with two handy options:

Need to completely hide or show your source image? Use the visibility toggle button in the Toolbar:
