Which is the best way to display image using image component? From /content or from /dam path?

Hi all,

Which is the best way to display image using image component?  From /content or from /dam path?

/content/project/en/home/_jcr_content/root/content/responsivegrid/image.coreimg.100{.width}.png
or /content/dam/project/test.png ?  I think by default, foundational image component uses the dam location. Where as core image component uses the /content location.

Hi,

Content path -/content/project/en/home/_jcr_content/root/content/responsivegrid/image.coreimg.100{.width}.png

• This will take care of serving images based on defined renditions without implementing any custom logic.
• multiple cache for same assets based on page where is it used.

DAM Path - /content/dam/project/test.png

• This will requires implementation serving images renditions based on DAM renditions.
• 1 copy of cache

Both has advantages and disadvantages but surely you should go with /content/project/en/home/_jcr_content/root/content/responsivegrid/image.coreimg.100{.width}.png

I would like to add one point here -

If I follow /content/project/en/home/_jcr_content/root/content/responsivegrid/image.coreimg.100{.width}.png content path, in that case the image gets saved at the page level rather than the DAM path , which makes it very hard to find in the future. Imagine now that the same high-res image is used in 10 places and, each time, users are uploading from their system: we are now stocking 10 images instead of saving it once in the DAM and referencing it 10 times.
