a picture (e.g. from another Gallery item or Rap) or a filename, or by Grabbing
a canvas or an arbitrary rectangular screen area using the ’Grab’ buttons, or by loading a raster file using the ’File...’ button.

Similarly, you can use the contents of an item by either: Drag-n-Dropping the image from the item (e.g. on Rap or a PizzaTool pizza preview), or by saving it in a raster file using the "FILE..." button.
