Why add pictures to patterns?
- Quickly add a picture to many items. Reason: if a specific item does not have a picture, the item will show the collection picture. For example, if 100 items do not have pictures, adding just one pattern picture will show a picture for those 100 items. When an item's specific picture is added, that will appear in addition to the collection picture.
- Collection/lifestyle pictures help show the size and proportion of items in relation to each other, as well as surrounding non-product items. Customers appreciate seeing a bowl next to a book because then they know how large the bowl may be.
