    Width The width of the image, if it was specified
    Height The height of the image, if it was specified

    Width The width of the image, if it was specified
    Exists ? Shows Yes if the image can be accessed in the filesystem at the specified path; otherwise, shows No
    Title, Publish Status If an item exists in CMS with the same URL as the image, shows the title and publish status of the image. The title is a link that leads to the CMS content item which holds the image. If the item does not exist in CMS, these columns are blank.
