You must select an image. Your Control panel says Layer.

Control panel ??????

THe control panel is the horizontal panel at the top, directly below the menu bar.

Placing an PNG file shows images. Is this what you say?

[Ton Frederiks · Accepted solution]

Yes, there you have selected an image.

...also, the selected image must be Embedded, not linked

[MahaB82A]

Embedded, not linked ????

[Monika Gause · Accepted solution]

You have a path selected. You need to do Object > Rasterize, which turns the path into an embedded image.
