Replacing Images

I can't seem to figure out how to replace any images from templates in this software.

Nothing in this software makes any sense! I come from a graphic design background using Adobe software, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & Dreamweaver. Not a single bit of the "help" tutorials makes any sense.

I've been struggling to change a single element from images to text. What exactly am I not getting?
I go to select elements like images and text and it tells me to go somewhere else to edit it?
I right click on an images, sometimes i can replace it with another one. but if i copy the page and rename it as different page, forget it! there seems to be absolutely no way to replace the images with my own!

I just dont understand why anyone would work with software this UNINTUITIVE! not a single bit of information that i've read or watched any of the videos makes any sense to me.

I was hoping i would be able to use this software to make websites faster and easier but it seems like it's more complicated than even Adobe Software! It seems like you still have to know how to code just to do the basics!

Could someone Please help me understand this. Why is something so simple as changing images so difficult!
Why can't i just right click on any image no matter what and replace it with another one!?

I just don't get it...

I've tried using the content selector, the styles, elements and even inspector, Trying to do this on the page Manager results in nothing as well! Is this a limitation imposed on me for just using the 14 free trial? or is this just some sick joke that you can't cange images or even edit the grid because I haven't paid yet?

Please explain to a complete novice to this way of working. It's not very intuitive or useful coming from a graphic design standoint!

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
