Save and close your file with the linked images.

Remove your linked image (put it in anothe folder).

Open the Illustrator file.

Check the Apply to All checkbox and Replace to select another image.

That works! What an elegant solution. Even just renaming the file did it.

Thank you.

Thanks for the screenshot, too.

Use the Layer panel. Open the layer in question by clicking on the carret at the left. Find the jpg you want to replace and drag it to the trash can. Place your new image and drag it to the bottom of the Layer.

Thank you but I want to know how to select ALL shapes with the same jpeg at one time so I only have to change the jpg once.

I have 24 rectangles that have the same jpg under them with a clipping mask. How do I re-link a different jpg to all 24?

Can we see a screen shot with the Layer panel open?
