I’m new to RapidWeaver, but I’m running into an issue when placing images onto my pages. I’m first editing the image in Aperture and saving the image to my desktop. From the desktop I’m dragging the photo onto the page, which works. However, I delete the photo from my desktop, since I no longer need it, it disappears from the webpage.

Do I have to keep all the photos I place on my site in one location forever, otherwise the image is gone for good from the webpage?? That seems really strange.

Are you running RW8?

If so go to settings\> Advanced (in left sidebar) And try checking the Site Resources: Copy into document box.

Also, make sure you resize and optimize your images before adding to any website. Many images are very large and can greatly slow down a web page loading.
