Import the image into EA - you'll find directions in EA help.

Create a stereotype for actors that should use this image in the Stereotypes tab of the Settings | UML dialog.

Assign your image to the stereotype on the same dialog.

Stereotype any actors that should use this image.

If you still get the 'stick man' shape, try toggling the Use Rectangle Notation setting on the context menu (I think that setting is under Advanced in the menu).

If that doesn't work, please get back to us.

After importing an image into your model you can also assign it as an alternate image without setting up a stereotype.

Right click on the actor in the diagram and select Appearance | Select Alternate Image.

Thanks Simon,

That sounds like a much cleaner solution in this case.
