This guide explains the management of product images. Images can be added to products without limit using extended product management. The guide goes through step-by-step image management, setting an image as the main image, and sharing images with models.

Adding a Product Image
A desired number of product images can be added to products. Adding images requires the use of extended product management for the respective company. Product image management can be found by opening the desired product and going to the image management tab. Added images are only available for that specific product or its models. If an image is to be used for another product, it must be added again for that product.
The image can be a .png, jpg, jpeg, or tif file. The image is retrieved from your own computer.
Once the desired number of products has been added, press the "Add" button.
In the above example, three images have been added. From these, you select which is the main image of the product. The main image represents the product in listings and the product view. The desired image can be selected as the main image by choosing the option below the image name. If necessary, the image can be deleted from this view. If the image to be deleted is already the main image of the product and the image is deleted, the first product image will automatically become the default main image.
Finally, press the "Save" button.
Product images are used when displaying products as an image grid, and the number of product images is indicated when listing products in a table. All product images are also displayed in the product view in the manner shown below. The main image is displayed first. You can click on the image to view it larger.
Editing a Product Image
You can click on the image to view it larger, from where it can be edited in the Edit tab. You can give the product a caption or change which is the main image if there are multiple images.
Deleting a Product Image
A product image can be deleted from the image management tab via the delete image link. The system will ask for confirmation, "Are you sure you want to delete this image".
Setting an Image for Models
If it is a main product, the added images must be shared with the models, meaning selecting which images are related to which model. Images must always be attached first to the main product and then distributed among the models. When viewing a model, only the images set for it are shown. Setting is done one image at a time from the product's Image Management tab or directly from the desired image's management window.
In the Edit tab, all product models are shown in a table if any have been created. From the list, you can select the models for which the image should be available. Confirm the selections with the Save button at the bottom of the page.
Images set for models are visible in the product model's information. The main product shows all images, and its model only shows the selected ones.
