With a personal access you can upload pictures into your own database within the image archive prometheus.
You can provide them with metadata, link them to objects and make them available to everyone in the image archive via the public image collections if they have been approved by the prometheus team after an editorial review in terms of quality assurance.
These images have not yet appeared in the search results. However, in the next few days, they can be found by everyone because they will then also be indexed like the images in the image databases.
