How to use local Docker image with docker-compose?

Question

I have a docker-compose file and want to be able to make one of the images be spun up from the image in my local cache vs. pulling from dockerhub. I'm using the sbt docker plugin, so I can see the image being created, and can see it when I do docker images at the command line. Yet, when I do docker-compose up -d myimage it always defaults to the remote image. How can I force it to use my local image??

Here is the relevant part of my compose file:

spark-master:
    image: gettyimages/spark:2.2.0-hadoop-2.7
    command: bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master -h spark-master
    hostname: spark-master
    environment:
      MASTER: spark://spark-master:7077
      SPARK_CONF_DIR: /conf
      SPARK_PUBLIC_DNS: localhost
    expose:
      - 7001
      - 7002
      - 7003
      - 7004
      - 7005
      - 7006
      - 7077
      - 6066
    ports:
      - 4040:4040
      - 6066:6066
      - 7077:7077
      - 8080:8080
    volumes:
      - ./conf/master:/conf
      - ./data:/tmp/data

  hydra-streams:
    image: ****/hydra-spark-core
    command: bin/spark-class org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker spark://spark-master:7077
    hostname: worker
    environment:
      SPARK_CONF_DIR: /conf
      SPARK_WORKER_CORES: 2
      SPARK_WORKER_MEMORY: 1g
      SPARK_WORKER_PORT: 8881
      SPARK_WORKER_WEBUI_PORT: 8091
      SPARK_PUBLIC_DNS: localhost
    links:
      - spark-master
    expose:
      - 7012
      - 7013
      - 7014
      - 7015
      - 7016
      - 8881
    ports:
      - 8091:8091
    volumes:
      - ./conf/worker:/conf
      - ./data:/tmp/data

You can force using the local image by retaging the existing image:

docker tag remote/image local_image

And then inside the compose file using local_image instead of remote/image .
