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

    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.
