Make an Image for my Actor

I'm new to Game Salad, so this question is trivial, but I don't know how to make an image for my actor.
It's going to be a ball, but I don't know how to make it a ball.
How do I change the image?

    @tim.othy Hello, there are no facilities in GameSalad Creator to create images/graphics. These have to be made in separate programs; and then brought into GSC and added to your actor. Some of these programs are: Photoshop, Illustrator, Gimp, Pixelmator, Inkscape, etc., etc...

    As you are new to GS make sure to check out the many tutorials available, as well as the GameSalad Manual. Best of luck. :-)

    Yeah I use Photoshop to create images, but if you don't have the skills you could also look out for free icons / images (or whatever graphic stuff you need, could also be backgrounds etc.) — you would just need to check if you are allowed to use them or not in case you would like to sell your game one day, but there's lots of packs out there that you can buy which will allow you to use their content for commercial purposes.

    A ball isn't hard to find in there :) Just search for "Ball Icon" on Google images.

    Eventually some Photoshop skills might be needed to make the background transparent in case it isn't the case already.

    Next thing is just to go in the browser under "Images" I think, click the + sign, and import the image you want. Then drag it wherever you want :) Hope this helped.
