Detailed product images are additional images that you may want to show to your web site visitors. These are not the images that you input on the product creation form. The
two images from the product creation form are the thumbnail and the regular size product image. The detailed product images are input after the product has been created
and are input from a separate interface. These images can then be configured to be displayed either in the product page or on a separate window.

detailed images.
