Discussion - Most efficient method of storing images for web dev [ASPNET MVC]
Image management seems to be a bit of a pain in web development. A few problems I came across are listed below:

Layout images vs Content images<br/>
Images for jQuery<br/>
The default image<br/>
directory with default images in the dev environment<br/>
Images for 3rd party code and extensions like Cleditor<br/>
Specifying the url of the image on different pages<br/>

Currently in my MVC project I have three image directories<br/>
/Images  -  default directory where the default website images are stored<br/>
/Images/_/  -  a created folder for all my images<br/>
/Content/base/image	 -  contains the to images for Cleditor
<br/><br/>
Adding new images in also a pain because if I copy an image over onto the production servers directory while I'm creating or editing content through a CMS
that image is not accessible to the development code. It seems that images should be hosted separately from the website an content. Are there any IIS we applications that do this. I can imagine something like

	img.domain.com/?img_name="somthing.jpeg"

Add in a fancy portal with drag and drop links for upload...idk this seems like something smart to me what do you think?
