How to Insert and Adjust Images in Google Docs

Inserting Images from Various Sources

• The video introduces the process of inserting images into Google Docs, starting from the homepage where recent documents are displayed.

• The first method discussed is uploading an image directly from the computer. Users can select a file stored on their device to insert it into the document.

• Another method involves using Google Images for searching. By selecting "Insert" and then "Search the web," users can find and insert images based on search criteria like "microprocessor."

• Users can also insert images stored in their Google Drive by navigating through folders to select desired files for insertion.

• Additionally, images can be inserted via URL by copying the image's web address and pasting it into Google Docs.

Additional Image Insertion Options

• The video highlights that sometimes images found through direct searches may differ from those available online, emphasizing the importance of using URLs when necessary.

• A unique option allows users to take a photo directly with their device's camera, which will be inserted immediately into the document.

Adjusting Inserted Images

• After inserting images, users learn how to adjust them. Resizing is done by clicking and dragging blue squares around the image while maintaining proportions by using corner squares only.

• Rotating an image is possible by clicking on a circular handle at the top of the image; this allows for easy adjustments in orientation.

• Users can freely move images within their documents by clicking and dragging them to desired locations.

Image Editing Options and Text Integration

Image Size and Rotation Adjustments

• The sidebar provides various options for image adjustments, including size and rotation. Users can quickly modify these settings or enter specific width and height values manually.

• Manual rotation is possible by entering the angle directly, allowing for precise adjustments such as rotating the image by 90 degrees.

Text Behavior Around Images

• The behavior of text in relation to images can be adjusted. When set to "integrated with text," the image will blend with the first line of a paragraph.

• Adjusting text alignment allows it to appear on both sides of the image, depending on its position; moving the image left or right affects text placement accordingly.

• Selecting "divide text" means no text will appear beside the image, regardless of its size.

Margin Settings

• Users can customize margins around images when there is adjacent text. This includes increasing space between the image and surrounding text.

• All margins can be adjusted simultaneously or individually, allowing for tailored spacing preferences.

Image Positioning and Effects

• Images can be positioned freely on a page or fixed in place. Fixed positioning allows users to specify exact locations (e.g., top-left corner).

• Additional effects like color tone adjustments (e.g., red tint), transparency, brightness, and contrast are available for further customization.

Resetting Changes and Replacing Images

• If modifications do not yield satisfactory results, users have an option to reset changes back to original settings.

• Users can add borders or crop images using tools that become visible upon selecting an image. Borders can be customized in color and thickness.

Cropping Techniques and Managing Multiple Images

Cropping Functionality

• Cropping options appear when an image is selected; users can adjust corners using black lines that indicate cropping areas.

• Double-clicking an image also enables cropping adjustments through direct manipulation of corner points.

Restoring Original Image State

• A reset option allows users to revert any transformations made during editing while retaining original dimensions but removing any cropping applied.

Replacing Existing Images

• Users have the ability to replace existing images with new ones from their library without losing formatting or layout settings.

Understanding Image Positioning in Document Editing

Adjusting Image Parameters

• To modify the position of an image, it's essential to adjust specific parameters. The speaker emphasizes the need to set text alignment options to allow for better positioning of images.

• When attempting to place one image over another, issues arise if the underlying image has a fixed position on the page. This fixed position takes precedence and prevents overlapping.

Layering Images

• For an image (like a calendar) to appear above another, it must also be set with a fixed position. If both images are fixed, the last edited image will take priority in visibility.

• The last edited image will always appear on top when two images overlap. Unlike other programs like Word or PowerPoint, where layering can be adjusted more flexibly, this system prioritizes the most recently moved object.

Moving Images with Text

• If one of the images is set to move with text, it will remain behind any other images that have a fixed position. This distinction is crucial when working with multiple images in document editing.
