When you have a picture framed image in a Rhino file (let’s say a jpg) and you change the image that you brought in in the folder where it came from the image in the Rhino file updates. Is there any way to stop this? I can see it’s convenient to have it happening but can lead to accidental changes when you don’t want them. Your insight on this would be appreciated 
I think you are looking for the EmbedBitmap option on the PictureFrame command
Hi Cosmas - Picture images are just textures in V6 + so if you need to make them independent, you’ll have to make a copy of the image and use that - I do not see another way.
