Body: <p>I'm trying to grab a specific image to display that is located in assets. I tried using <code>{% set image = craft.assets.filename('image_filename.jpg') %}</code> but I get the error "An unknown image object was used." I also tried referring to one of the asset sources which I saw as a solution in another post related to my question: <code>{% set image = craft.assets.source('my_images') %}</code> but I'm not sure how that would help me grab a specific image. <code>{% set image = craft.assets.images[0] %}</code> just grabs an image from any of the asset sources if I change the index number. What am I doing wrong here?? Thanks in advance!  </p>

  You can do
  
  ```
   {% image = craft.assets.id(x).first() %}
  
  ```
  
  Where x is the ID of your element. You can see the ids of your elements in your cp. There is a little wheel icon below your asset sources where you can define which attributes to display. Just check the selectbox for id
  
  You can learn more about fetching entries with `ElementCriteriaModels` in the [docs](https://craftcms.com/docs/templating/elementcriteriamodel#parameter-value-syntax)
