Product Photographs

I've successfully created a shop, with categories of products and after a bit of digging around managed to get that product to display under the right category with a picture. However to do that I seem to have had to upload the picture twice, once through the Joomla! media manager and once under the Images tab on the New Product Page. I'm sure this is wrong, but I couldn't work out how to use the KikaShop image file in the descriptive text you see when you click on the thumbnail - I want a larger image to show, since the product is a print.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but help please...

I notice that the thumbnail can be clicked to show a larger image, but it isn't obvious I suspect to a 'naive' user. Can the thumbnail size be increased to the size of the uploaded image? This is no more than 600 pixels in any one dimension.

When you edit/create a product you can click on the add button in the images zone on the bottom right which will open a popup where you will be able to upload an image. You don't need to use the joomla manager.

If you want to change the size of images, you can go in the configuration under the tab Files. There, you will be able to set the size of the thumbnails and the images in HikaShop. Note that the images are resized when you upload them. If you want to recreate the thumbnails to the good size, you can just delete the folder thubmnails in the upload folder of hikashop (media/com_hikashop/upload by default). The the full image size itself, you will have to upload it again.
