Modifying the image.

In this video Amit talks about using image vs. background image. If I use background image can I change what the image says? I couldn't quit tell.

no. you would have to edit the actual image itself

the main difference between image and backgroundImage is that backgroundImage is scaled to fill the bounds of the button, whereas image is not scaled.

also, backgroundImage is placed behind the actual title of the button, while image is placed next to the title. you can see this happen at 2:55 of this video. The image is placed to the left of the title, and then amit removes the title so that it looks normal
