To access the Multi-Image Manager, go to Products > Manage Products in the admin console. Select a product to edit, and click the Images tab.
The Multi-Image Manager links in the Product Images tab allow you to upload multiple images of a certain size. On the product detail page, customers will be able to cycle through the multiple images.

Default Image
It’s best to put the same image in the first view slot as you put for the default image.
Configuration Settings
There are a few settings that work with the multi images:
MultiMakesMicros : If this is TRUE, then loading images into the Large MultiImage Manager will also create the Micro images (make sure LargeCreatesOthers is TRUE)
UseImagesForMultiNav : If this is TRUE, then the product Micro images are used instead of numbered icons under the main image. Be sure Micro images are created (see MultiMakesMicros) for this to apply
UseRolloverForMultiNav : If this is TRUE, then the medium image will change when "mousing over" the micro image instead of requiring to be clicked. UseImagesForMultiNav Must be TRUE for this to apply
MultiImage.UseProductIconPics : If this is TRUE, then the product Icon images are used under the main image. This will override UseImagesForMultiNav
