Among the great new features in LT 2009 is the ability to use image files as external references just like you'd use a drawing. If you visit the Blocks & References tab of the Ribbon, you'll see that the References panel includes images in the attachment types, along with DWG, DWF, and DGN.
Even better, you can now detach images too, for those times when someone sends you a file with an image you just don't want, or with a broken reference to a moved or deleted image.
If you're not on LT 2009 yet, check out this post for alternative ways to get an image file into your drawing.

Incredible that this feature was stipped out of previous LT versions. I hope it's been added back in a bug-free way. LT 2008 was crashing so frequently on me that I backed off to LT 2007. Here's hoping LT 2009 is a more stable product. The product has been around for so long.. AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT should be bulletproof at this point.

Really? Autocad is rolling out another version of computer crash software?--oops, I meant a newer version of Autocad LT.
