Making an image into an asset

[rpgathome]

I can convert an asset to an image easy enough, what I want to do is the reverse.
I want to use the Tarrokka cards from Curse of Strahd as tokens so I can lay them out on a table during a reading.
I have a background image good to go, but can't find a way to turn the card images into assets so I can use them as tokens.

Any advice?

They would have to be added to the "tokens" folder in your FG data folder; then they would show up in the Tokens view of the Assets window under the Data bag.

You don't need to use tokens to add them to a map background.

Create a new map and drag your background image into it. Now drag in the cards you want and they will be added as layers. You can then select each layers and resize and move the image for each card. You could do this ahead of time and hide the card layers before sharing the image with the players. Then at the time reveal each layer as the cards are read.

OK so is this how decks currently do this? Like

I have been tempted to buy one to see how they work.

Zacchaeus you mention layers. Is that only with Unity or does that work with Classic as well? I have wanted a tarrokka deck as well and it is on my back burner to look at finding a way to do it.

Beware this module is for PF1/3.5e and is mainly an extension, you won't be really able to use it in other rulesets (the part with automatically drawing cards etc. I mean, but one may be able to tweak it for other rulesets, not sure)

Layers is one of the new mapping features in Unity, though there is an extension for Classic adding two other layers (enhanced images it is called I think)
