Why ArtfulBits Image Upload Column?
Default process of associating an image with a list item in SharePoint is not so obvious and comfortable. Default WSS
3.0 "Hyperlink or Picture" column does not allow uploading images via browsing and requires you to set the URL ofthe image already existing on the site. In order to associate images with some item in a list in MOOS 2007 user
should create the separate picture list and then set the URL of certain image to picture column via the modal dialog.
ArtfulBits Image Upload Column provides you with easier and flexible way to do this. Image Upload column allows
the user to browse their local computer for image of interest. Once the image is selected, column will automaticallyupload the image and link it to the item.

How to Use
To use Image Upload column you must select appropriate option in the list of available columns at the CreateColumn page. In the Image Upload Special Settings section you can use the file extensions filter in order to use only
predefined image types. Image Upload column allows you to upload not only images, but other files of any type (forex. documents, archives and others).
