Images are an important part of your portfolio. phpPortfolio has a number of built-in functions to simplify image handling.
When you add/upload an image to a record in your portfolio, the program saves your original image and creates 3 copies of it in different sizes for differing views. These copies are 'icon' for list views, 'thumbnail' for gallery and random views, and main (re-sized) for details views. Your original image is saved and can be accessed by clicking on the main image in any details view.
You have control over a number of factors in this process, such as size, image compression quality, save path and effects (GD Lib 2.x only), in your config.php file.
Images can be attached to 'Clients', 'Media', 'Pieces' and 'Projects'. Images are attached to records after they are created. If you do not add an image to any given record, default images will be used.
