The Image Manager allows you to Upload and manage your pictures. If Permitted, members can upload images to their own folders and use them in their Web page Creations. There is also a System folder where images can be uploaded (given permissions) and then any users can use them in their web page creations. The Image Manager has a built in resizer so you can create the size of image you wish from the originals that you uploaded. Another function of the Image Manager is to interface with some of the Web Designer Components so that Images can be imbedded in text or other objects using a Drag and Drop interface. When JPG images are first uploaded a thumbnail image is automatically created.
