XCode display a project image in the credits.rtf file


I want to take an image from my project and add it to the "About MyApp" window.

This seemed as simple as adding the image to the credits.rtf file; once I dragged and dropped the image from the project to the credits.rtf file, it inserted the image into the file and I put it where I wanted it, but as soon as I ran the application, there was just a space where I had put the image.
