remember that you can choose a editing program to adjust an image right off a texture I have MS-Paint because I usually just crop or size
But photoshop or any program can be used.

Then right click choose texture/edit image

Then edit and save in application.

I used jpegs for landscapes
Are you looking for a animation I know i saw a ruby to do that just can't remember were.

This was a quick demo

If you want to use it as a texture in your model it must be a texture not a "image in model"
I us the import as texture and keep a file of all of them.

Dragging it in it is image so it is not in the materials window unless you explode the image.

It sounds like you have a situation where there is a nested component.

Check out the outliner window click on the parts and see the interaction with the model and the outliner. expand the components and watch the model.

Numbers and name that keep the order and the ability to add related entity to be added by just adding a .##

I number layer 01 to 100 material 001 t0 00100 assemblies 0001 to 000100 sub-assemblies etc etc
Then select item and look in the entity info to see the layer or in the outliner to get deeper in nested components/groups.

Had some more time in the PM hope this helps.
