Arrange > Create Bitmap Copy, True Color, 150dpi. Hold down the Shift key and press Create. Shift + Create places the bitmap copy in the exact

NOTE: Xtreme 5 added a new bitmap feature which gets mixed reviews in my book. If you clone an image, and make any changes to the actual
photo or change any effects, these changes are also applied to the clone or duplicate of the bitmap. If you have a title bar with a photo that changes on every page, changing the image once and having it
update on every occurrence is convenient. But for working on duplicates images, such as this tutorial is makes one madder than the mistral.
