So far we've covered how to copy-and-paste text, but let's now turn to images. Here's an example of how to move an image from an existing site into your new Plone site:

The following screen-shots were made using Firefox. Things may look a bit different if you're using another browser.

Find the Image

We'll use the ONE/Northwest website for this example. Let's say I'm trying to re-create the homepage and I'm ready to start moving the images.  Your job is to save a copy of the image to your desktop computer.

Save the Image

Hover your mouse over the image you want to move and right-click. This should bring up a menu similar to the one in this screen-shot:

Depending on how your browser is configured, the items in this list may be different that what is pictured here.

However, you should see a choice there called Save Image As. This operation will allow you to save a copy of the image to your desktop computer. Remember where you saved the file, because you're going to need to find it again!

You also have the opportunity to rename the image file during this process. It's better to give your image files names that make sense. A name like homepage-sprout.jpg is more useful than something like HP0101-46.JPG, which tell you nothing about the image at all. Digital cameras tend to name image files like the latter example.
 

Upload and Insert the Image

Now you are ready to upload the image to your Plone website. Read this tutorial if you need to review how to upload images.

Once the image has been uploaded, you are ready to place it on a page. A reminder about how to do that can be found in this tutorial.

Also, be aware that images may need to be prepared before upload. Read this FAQ to find out how.
