Images ... How do I ?

? add an image to a scene?

This feature allows you to attach an image to each scene, for example a stock photo or picture which helps you write the description. The image won't be exported when you write the project to ebook or other formats, it's just for your own use.
Open scene. Click Picture tab on top right of page next to goals. Press the 'Select' button. Locate the picture you want to use. Click it once and press 'Open'. * To remove picture in the Scene Editor window, click Scene>remove picture. A picture no larger than 300 pixels long and 400 pixels wide is recommended as large images are slow to load.

? tell the number of pixels? How do I reduce the picture size?

Use a program like Irfanview to resize it.

? add a picture or image directly from the Internet?

Download the image from your browser.

? estimate the number of scenes to which I can add pictures without slowing yWriter down dramatically?

You won't slow the program down.
