The out-of-the-box Image Web part can be used to display an image on a site. The Web part has a property that specifies the Web address of the image. For most site members, this is problematic: How do they get an image on the Web site? And how do they determine the Web address? Power users understand these steps, but find them time consuming to complete.

The Image Upload Web Part will allow site members to browse their local computer for the image. Once the image is selected, the Web part will automatically upload the image to a location specified by an administrator and set the Web address.
