I’m trying to wrap my head around how to use the image attributes. I’m no developer so please bare with me.

Here’s an example of what we would like to do. If we had a store selling herbal supplements we would need an image on the product page showing the product ingredient label. We wouldn’t just want that image to show up among the other product images but separately next to the product description.

When I add a new image attribute to the attribute set I’m using it shows up as a column with radio buttons in the image tab of the product management page. Can we create a new image attribute, name it Product Label (product_label), and place that tag so that is shows the image with that radio button selected in that spot?
