Ability to present just an image from the library

I'm a big fan of showing evocative imagery to the players for locations or creatures. In order to do this now, I need to create a handout, which means uploading the image and renaming it from "Mysterious Note", saving that, then hitting "Show to players". And this presents it to them in a frame with Roll20 chrome around it, and squished down. What I'd prefer is something closer to right clicking on a library item, clicking "Show to players" and have it come up in the full screen mode with the transparent black overlay behind it. I think this is much quicker and becomes more evocative of setting or creatures by obscuring background stuff.

Aaron, there is a mechanism that works similar to your request. &nbsp;Drop the image from your library anywhere onto the tabletop (it can be anywhere on the Page that the players ribbon is on, it can be small like 1x1, it can be hidden in Fog Of War or in the margins). GM select that graphic, press Shift-Z. &nbsp;Then it will pop up in full screen mode with the black overlay behind it. Wiki docs, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Keyboard_Shortcuts#Miscell" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Keyboard_Shortcuts#Miscell</a>... I tend to pre-populate the margins around my maps/pages with some of the pictures that I plan to pop-up in-game for the evocative illustrations. You can also do it on-the-fly. The only added step compared to your Suggestion is that GM needs to drop the graphic from the library somewhere onto the tabletop.
Oh, that's pretty neat. Definitely easier than using handouts. Does it work from the GM Layer?
Yeah, it does. :)
