I am having a terible time understanding how images work in Astro. It seems that the only way to use images in collections and data (json) is to place them in the public dir, but then you can't use the image optimization. Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to parse images from a collection AND optimize them?

You can use images from /src, check out https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/images/#images-in-content-collections https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/images/#images-in-markdown-files

Thank you. I have read the docs several times and in general know how images work. Unfortunately the docs do not discuss programatically using the <Image> feature for collections or json.

The first link is about images in collection
It's basically just using the image() schema for all the fields that are images

wow. I stand corrected. I have searched and searched and never saw the specific docs for images in collections. How the heck was that so hidden. Thanks again!

There is the schema setup
but I am getting an empty object when I oonsole. Hmmm. Any ideas out there?
It says I need to import image and can't use a string. If I include the <Image> the app crashes.
ooooof!
