This plugin is just as simple as it sounds. If you already use the fabulous plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/" rel="ugc">NextGEN Gallery</a> than the titleimage plugin gives you the ability to display the first image or a random image from a selected NexGEN Gallery. This selected image will be displayed with the php function call showTitleimage(), which can be used inside your templates. The best place would be inside the index.php file after the get_header(); call.
The following parameters are accessible on the Tools->Titleimage administration page:
<ul>
<li>State – Switches the display of the titleimage on or off.</li>
<li>Gallery – Selects the NGG Ressource-Gallery</li>
<li>Image selection – Selects the image that should be displayed from the given gallery. It is possible to select the first image, a random image or a specified image.</li>
<li>Imagesize – Defines the maximum Imagewidth and -height.</li>
<li>Image Link – An URL with which the image will be linked.</li>
<li>Image Link Attributes – Additional attributes for the image link to apply CSS classes for Javascript Lightbox Effects etc.</li>
<li>Image Subtitle – Enables the image subtitle in different options (Gallery description, Image description, Individual text, No subtitlte).</li>
<li>Subtitle Link – An URL with which the subtitle will be linked.</li>
<li>Style – Defines wether the default CSS or an individual CSS File should be used.</li>

Image Pro simplifies the WordPress image upload, resize and management.
Using ImagePro, you can:
<ul>
<li>upload of multiple files directly from your desktop</li>
<li>perform smooth image resize (a perfect resize is created based on your resized picture in the editor)</li>
<li>easily manage the media collection (search, filter by file type)</li>
<li>drag and drop any image to the post and have it resized the way you want</li>
</ul>
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
In case of experiencing problems, make sure you adhere to the installation requirements. 
If the problem still persists, take a look at /imagepro/logs/impro.log and see if there are any errors or warnings reported 
If nothing helps, please use the “DBG” link from the “Available Images” panel in the post editor. This will provide debugging information, which you can send back to me for troubleshooting.
Many thanks to phpThumb and KLogger. Also, many thanks to from <webhostinghub.com> for the Spanish translation of the plugin!
Last but not least, great thanks to Jetbrains for their great PhpStorm IDE!
