Editing theme images using RapidWeaver MultiTool
RapidWeaver MultiTool is a third party application which runs separate to RapidWeaver. Both a free and premium version of this software is available. When open, RapidWeaver MultiTool presents a list of themes installed on your computer. Themes which are compatible with RapidWeaver MultiTool store all of their images inside a folder called editable_images. RapidWeaver MultiTool enables you to edit any of these images. The original images are safely backed-up within the theme so they can be retrieved at a later date if required.
It is recommended you start by editing placeholder images. Placeholder images are typically blank and named or numbered sequentially like bg01.jpg, bg02.jpg, bg03.jpg, header-01.jpg, header-02.jpg, header-03.jpg for example. Using RapidWeaver MultiTool, you can drag and drop new images onto the canvases. Many basic image editing techniques can also be performed on these images and text can be applied. Use the save button in RapidWeaver MultiTool to apply the customised image to your theme. RapidWeaver MultiTool is developed by a separate software company and additional support documentation is provided on the website: http://www.rwmultitool.com/
