In general, Garp uses different types of images.

• Uploaded images - uploaded by a user
• Static images - used in templates
• Interface images - referred to from css

Uploaded images

These are not part of the codebase, but instead uploaded by a user, f.i. in the cms. They are generally stored in (public)/uploads/images on the local machine, or on Amazon S3. They also have a record in the database and they are relatable to other content. Their physical storage location is configured in application/configs/assets.ini.

Interface images

These are mostly generated by Gulp. They contain a hash in the filename, so that they are always versioned. An example would be a button-50db5f2cd4.png.
