			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So if you&#8217;re a designer and you&#8217;ve ever had to create a Microsoft Word or Powerpoint template for a client, you&#8217;ve felt this pain.</p>
<p>One huge UI improvement that would make my life easier is the ability to swap out one image for another but keep everything else the same. Size, layout, placement, etc.</p>
<p>If I need to export a new image in Illustrator or Photoshop because the client decides they want the color to be different (or if it doesn&#8217;t look right printed, or whatever), I end up having to reset all of these settings, by hand. Every time.</p>
<p>Instead of just choosing a new version of the image in Word, I&#8217;m forced to do a screen scrape and paste them in Photoshop just to be able to try a new version of the image. This is stupid and should be fixed.</p>
<p>Here is the screen grab of my settings in Photoshop with my feelings on the matter:</p>
