How to insert an image into page content

Just like your content, you will create graphics and images in a graphics software application outside of SharePoint. Maybe you will use Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks, etc. Follow the style guide and crop the image to the correct pixel size for the image container on the respective page layout.
After the image is created, upload the image to SharePoint so it can be placed (inserted) in a Web page. Upload or add it to the Images folder in the desired site. Then, insert the image to the page by following these steps.
