Image Type Guide

Image Hub is a powerful solution, putting high-quality product images in the hands of all Erudus users. However, the quality of the solution is only as good as the quality of data that is entered. This article is going to give you guidance on providing a consistent classification of the types of image that are being uploaded and assigned to product specifications.
