I am having some problems embedding images on my pages.
TTG Backlight version: 1.1.1
http://michaeltarmour.com/
I typically embed images on my home page (http://michaeltarmour.com/) and my Exhibits Page (http://michaeltarmour.com/Exhibits/)
I have not uploaded any new images since upgrading to 1.1.1
If I embed images I previously uploaded prior to upgrading to 1.1.1 - they display just fine on both pages.
If I try to embed an image I upload today - I get a broken link icon. This happens on both pages.
I upload my images via Designer - Templates - Uploaded Images.
Format for embedding is:
Home Page: <img src="/backlight/photos/home_image.jpg" width="600" class="alignleft"> (this is working on both pages)
Exhibits Page: <img src="/backlight/photos/clydesignweb.jpg" width="600" class="aligncenter"> (This does not work on either page)
clydedesignweb.jpg infomration:
- 8 bit RGB
- 1000 x 1250 pixles at 150 ppi
- file size: 209 KB
I've tested this from Firefox and Safari
UPDATE: When I access my website via FTP - I can see my previous uploaded images in the /backlight/photos/ directory but the image I uploaded today is not there? If I manually upload the image to the /backlight/photos/ directory via FTP - the image displays.
Does the Uploaded Images functionality put these images somewhere else in 1.1.1?

If you're uploading images via the Upload Image feature, you need to go to those images in Backlight > Designer > Uploaded Images and click on the name of an image. Then copy the URL shown under the image on the ensuing page.
Your format above implies that you've been manually uploading images to a folder you've created for the purpose (/backlight/photos/)
When images are uploaded to Backlight, they are not stored in a photos/ folder. They are stored in the /backlight/data/designer/image_uploads/ folder. File names and other metadata are stripped.
This isn't a Backlight 1.1.1 issue, it's always been this way for the Image Uploader
Frankly I prefer manually uploading page images to a folder made for this purpose. The only images I use the Image Uploader for are my mastheads, favicon, and apple-touch icon.
