Is there a way to move an image around inside a graphics box if it has been imported using the pass-thru option? My boxes are bigger that the image, and I would like to center the image in the box, but the image keeps defaulting to the top left corner. Thanks

If you want to make the box bigger than the image itself, then you are effectively getting FW to change the image and it will no longer be a ‘pass-through’ graphic as I understand it.

With the graphic object selected that you imported the photo into you should see a crosshairs in the center. When you mouse over that you should see a hand cursor which you can then click and drag image around inside the box.

If an image is brought in as Pass-through, then it should show an
overset (big cross through the box, little X in the lower-right
corner) if the HTML box is not large enough for the image. Pass-
through disables all of Freeway’s cropping and resizing controls,
because you are telling Freeway to simply “pass through” the original
image without any processing whatsoever.
If you want to make an image appear within an HTML box (so without any
processing) but then crop into that image (not resize) you can use
that image as a background image, and then set left and top offsets
(or right, or bottom) to move the image around within that parent HTML
box. The size of the box will create the crop area, and the offsets
will determine how far it moves from the ordinal point you’ve chosen.
This can be a very effective layout tool for a page with variable-size
elements, like if you mark an HTML box to have its dimensions in
percentages.
But no matter, whenever you use Pass-through, you are taking over
responsibility for resizing the original image and saving it in a Web-
friendly format. You’ll need to use Photoshop of the local equivalent,
and choose JPEG, GIF, or PNG as your output format (and choose that
format carefully, based on the content of your image and your layout
style).

This was an assumption I made seeing as how this was said:
