I'll chime in here for the Rev way of doing it, if you intend to use images in multiple instances and even more... if you want to use those same images at different sizes in different instances...

Having used the "store image in a substack, call via button icon image ID" method... I would say, though it may seem a little like a work around that... works very well.

Also I have had trouble with changing image sizes in pre-open card handlers for images that are part of a background group... but those same display problems went away when I put the image in a substack and programatically changed the size of the image that is stored in the substack, in preopen card handlers. The subsequent button instance display always works as expected., such that multiple "instances" across different cards can be of different sizes with zero additional overhead in terms of speed. If you keep the images on disk, forget it...

There is one "gotcha" here though.. watching out for shifting ID's as you import new images...

How would one use this? imagine full screen images that later in our presentation become small thumbnails which have all the attributes of a button...

Sure. If you only have a few images, or your images consist of only a few K
in filesize, managing them externally is probably not worth the effort.
Just use a little common sense when deciding where to place your images.
