Advanced How to properly show images to players?

I saw that this topic has gotten old. Another great way to show images would be to have them in them in the GM layer, then change their layer dynamically back and forth.

Lots of ways, what you said is a good one. Select a graphic (as GM) and press Shift-Z, this shows a full size pop-up with dark background called a lightbox. Add the image to a Handout, and press "Show To Players". Here in this method the players can go back and re-open it when they want to look again later. Make the image a PAGE of it's own, drag-and-drop the Players ribbon to the page. Pro Users with API access install the "Color Emote" API from the One-Click and make a simple macro, good way to put any on-map picture into the Chat log. Really fantastic for games that look at the roll20 chat a lot. I use all of the above. In different circumstances.
