File and image properties

When you select a file or image that you have uploaded, the properties are displayed in the Edit dialog box. There are three tabs within this dialog box: Image, Main and Links. The Image tab contains a preview of the image and the Main tab displays the file or images details. These details effectively describe the item and some of the properties can be edited. The fields displayed on the Main tab of the Edit dialog box are described in the following table.
