Image Handler Manager Screen, Click to enlarge

Step 4:

Click the new file button on the right under Click to add a new image to this product.

Step 5:

You can upload medium and large images as well, but for this purpose we will use the browse button for Default image file. Browse to your image, and click the Save Button of the bottom right (as seen below).
