   The IMAGE MANAGER which will open when you select BROWSE FILES, has several basic functions other than to simply select your image file:
   
   
   NEW FOLDER - creates a new folder in the IMAGE folder
   DELETE - delete image
   MOVE - move file from one location to the next
   COPY - copy image from one location to another
   RENAME - rename image (does not change image extension)
   UPLOAD - upload images into the IMAGE folder on server
   REFRESH - refresh list to show changes (deleted, re-named, or added images)
5. Select UPLOAD to bring in a new file, or select an existing file for the browser.  Remember that the file that you select should fit within the design template that you are working in

The Banner image you select should match your advertising intentions or screens you intend to show your customer for communication of further information.  In order to add more banners, you will need to work with the design layouts that are being used for the store.
