 Most properties you need to specify for attributes of the Picture type are common to all attribute types – see [[2500_config_apps:0700_add_edit_attributes:0100_common_props|Common Properties]]. The properties specific to the Picture type are described below.  Most properties you need to specify for attributes of the Picture type are common to all attribute types – see [[2500_config_apps:0700_add_edit_attributes:0100_common_props|Common Properties]].

 Just like with the File System storage you also need to specify an expression that holds the path to the image in the Amazon S3 storage. This path includes the name of the AWS bucket and the name of the AWS region: Just like with the File System storage you also need to specify an expression that holds the path to the image in the Amazon S3 storage.
