Help:Adding images

The Add Images extension is a new feature that allows you to add images directly from the edit page to articles from three sources:


 * Images already uploaded to the wiki.
 * Free images on Flickr.
 * Images sitting on your PC.

Benefits

 * You can easily add an image from "anywhere" when editing an article.
 * Browse/search display of image thumbnails, re-size, layout, and caption improve the ease of choosing the right image and layout.
 * You can search wiki images by keywords, making it easier to discover images you can use/re-use as needed.
 * Images are inserted using the familiar formatting (thumbnail, alignment, pixel widths, etc.).

How to use Add Images

 * 1) Go to the page you wish to add an image to.
 * 2) Click edit, and place the edit cursor at the point in the article you wish to add an image.
 * 3) Click the Add Image icon on the editing toolbar - this brings up the Add Image screen as shown on the right.
 * 4) Choose the source, sizing, and placement within the article for your image. Make sure to click "Insert File" at the end.

Image location options
As the illustrations show below, once you choose the source of your image, you will be prompted to specific the sizing, placement, and caption for the image. These will vary slightly depending on the source for the image.

Completing the wizard
The following shows when you have successfully selected/uploaded the image and chosen all the required options.
