product image on remote server

OK, this is really beginner stuff, but I can't seem to figure it out.
When adding a new product, how do you "connect" to an image on your remote server? Must you upload an image from your home computer?

When you add a product, yes, you upload the image by using the Browse button to locate it.
If you are talking about using an image on a remote server for your product image, you can't do that out of the box.
We made modifications to one of our sites to allow remote images by adding a new column to ps_product called hack_image
and then made changes to our templates to read that column .vs using the ps_image table.

Thank you for the reply. What I was trying to do was "find" the image on my hosting server vs. on my home computer. When I edit the product details through the BO of the remote site - Images on Product Edit page - it searches my home computer's hard drive. I have an "Images" folder on my hosting server and wanted it to search that folder. I've been messing back and forth with XAMPP and remote development. If I'm correct, I keep the images on my home computer, then if I use the remote server to change a product, it uploads the photo from my home computer to some location on my remote server?
Thanks!

When you edit a product and add an image, you select the image from your home computer's hard drive.
Then Prestashop uploads it to the img/p directory and renames it based on the id_product.
If you are using the watermark module, it also adds the watermark at this time.
