How do you remove an Image Asset from an element

[martinjsharp]

If I take an element (say an Archimate Application Component) and select Appearance > Select an Alternate Image I have a new image for my element. If you want to change the image I can select a different one, if I want to revert to the original I select NONE.  I am happy'ish.

If I take an element and select Appearance > Select an Image Asset I can chose from a library of such elements of Type Artefact Stereotype of Image. Great, so far.  I can change to a different Image Asset, also great, BUT how to I set the image back to the original element such as the Archimate symbol I started with?

I am sure I am missing something obvious.

In case you are wondering, the answer is simple, but a little odd in my opinion.  If you delete (soft delete) the element from the diagram and then add it back in the associated Image Asset is not there.

No, Martin, it's not the answer; it's an accidental byproduct of the process you undertook.  The answer is to explicitly put a remove function analogous to the Alternate image mechanism.
The image information is diagram specific, so by removing the item from the diagram, the t_diagramobjects entry evaporates.  Replacing the item creates a new entry from the current settings - which there is currently no image assigned.
