ShowAcquireImage

Displays a "select" and "clear" button that is used to upload an image into the current template. Note: You no longer need to use an upload.aspx, if you want to create a thumbnail. Use the AddAdditionalImage method on the ShowAcquireParams object to define the thumbnails that you want to create. See the examples below.
