Last night I purchased a few themes as well as a background pack. No trouble importing the themes, but I cannot seem to get the backgrounds to show. I saved the pack in my download folder as I did with the themes. It shows up there as and I can copy and paste it in the background folder in CC, but nothing shows.

Hey Jack,

You actually have to goto Background Fill Properties and selected "Use an image" then navigate to the new background you would like to use.

Thanks Steve, but I know how to get a different background in to a page, what I am having an issue with, is getting the new background pack installed in CC. I have it in my download folder, and when I did a copy and then a paste into the CC folder that contains all the other backgrounds it does nor show when i do what you suggested.

Have you double clicked the file? That's usually how you install packs of things into the CC programs. Give that a shot and see if it is then there to navigate for you to use. :)

Ok that file extension is for the Website Image Studio application. You can find out more about this app here: http://www.coffeecup.com/web-image-studio/

This program will let you edit the files then you save them as an image. Then you will see them show up in that folder.
