Done. > Open the Media Tab in FTM and click in the Media Pane. Then either use the Media menu and click on paste or Ctrl+V. The dialog will open to assign a category and select whether the image is linked or copied to the Media Folder. In this case of course you would want to copy that media item to the media folder. Click OK and then the image will appear in the Media Gallery. Select that media item and rename it if necessary and add a caption if you desire. I tried the Media dropdown menu AND Ctrl-V but in BOTH cases Paste is NOT black, so does not work. I suspect that I am missing something fairly simple, but have not come across it YET! Finding the Paste option is a MAJOR step in the right direction though.
