Q: Can you use an existing image with 'Digital Touch'

I see where you can take a photo or 10 second video and incorporate the 'Digital Touch' aspects of the Imessage, however is it possible to use an already existing image from the camera roll with this feature?

iPhone 6s, iOS 10, Imessage

    Greetings josephfromthetwilightzone,

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you want to use Digital Touch on an existing photo from the camera roll. 
    You can only use Digital Touch with new photos you create. This article explains how you can use the new feature. 

    With Digital Touch, you can create a photo or video, then add a sketch to it. Follow these steps:

    1. In Messages, tap send a message and enter a contact or go to an existing conversation.
    2. Tap , then tap . The sketch pad turns into a video preview.
    3. Tap  to create a 10 second video. Or tap  to take a photo.
    4. If you want to start over, tap . When you're ready to send, tap send message.

    The Messages app deletes video messages after 2 minutes. Tap Keep to save the video.

    Use Digital Touch on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

    Take care
