ImagesTab
The Images Tab contains the necessary options to assign images to the {mosimage} tags you
inserted in your article. One important thing to keep in mind here is that the images will appear in
the Content Item in the order that they appear in the Content Images field. You can use the
Up
and
Down buttons to adjust the order of the images.
The right hand column contains various attributes that you can assign or adjust for the image that
you have picked. These include the alignment of the picture, any alternate text that you would like
to have displayed when the user’s mouse is over the picture and a caption for the picture and the
position that you would like it to appear. Once you have set the desired attributes for the image,
click the
Apply button.

Okay so we see how to assign images to the {mosimage} tags that we embedded in to our
documents but where do these images come from?
Joomla! has a Media Manager, which can only be accessed through the Administrator panel
(Back-end).
L Further Information: Chapter 6: Managing Media
The Media Manager allows you to upload, store and organise your images. The images used for
articles are stored in a sub-folder called stories under the images directory.
In the upper left-hand corner of the images Tab, you will see the Sub-folder drop-down list. Use
this list to select the sub-folders underneath the stories folder.
