Working with image links
When you place images in Illustrator and either link to them or embed them, you can see
a listing of these images in the Links panel. You use the Links panel to see and manage
all linked or embedded artwork. The Links panel displays a small thumbnail of the artwork
and uses icons to indicate the artwork's status. From the Links panel, you can view the im-
ages that have been linked to and embedded, replace a placed image, update a linked image
that has been edited outside of Illustrator, or edit a linked image in the original application,
such as Photoshop.
