I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'picture' is the definition.
(picture can mean to visualise or imagine)

'in picture' is the wordplay.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imagine that I've seen before include "Classic Lennon song" , "Fancy - Lennon song" , "Form a mental image in the mind" , "Picture in mind, envisage" , "Fancy - dream" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
