Figure 4: Insert Image from media ﬁeld

3. The picture is on your hard disk.

This is the most complex case. Basically, you will also use the image button below the text. There you will

ﬁnd an upload dialogue through which you can upload your image "easily". Remember that Joomla will

NOT resize the image. If you upload a photo from your digital camera, it will be displayed in its full

original size (width > 3000 pixels). You have to resize the image before uploading.

If it doesn't work, this could be due to many things, such as lack of permissions in the directories of the

media manager. At best, you will get an error message.

Once you have inserted the image from the media, you can select and format it by clicking the image

icon in the editor's toolbar.
