That would require the possession of Photoshop or some other decent graphics
program besides Paint. Most of my jobs do not provide anything by Adobe or
any graphics programs. A screen capture in Paint was the best that I could
come up with to get the document together, but I really don't remember the
context of why I had to do that. I only remember that tools were not
available and we needed a document that could be edited.
My jobs are frequently less than organized when I get there, but graphics
issues are rarely a critical point. I was merely providing an example of
issues that can arise, albeit in rare cases, when original graphics are not
retained.
