Lets you add an image to a post or page from the WordPress gallery on your site using a shortcode. Simply add the wppgalleryimage shortcode and specify the image you want to add by name or ID.
When you insert an image using the built-in WordPress editor, the full URL to the image on your site is inserted into the page or post. Using the shortcode, all you need to specify is the name or ID of the image and the URL is generated automatically.
When an image is uploaded to the gallery, the file is stored under wp-content/uploads and metadata about the image is stored in the <code>wp_posts</code> table with a <code>post_type</code> of <code>attachment</code>. The image is added to post or page within a <code><div></code> tag that specifies the <code>wpgalleryimage_shortcode</code> class, which allows you to define a style for all images added by the shortcode.

WP Gallery Image Shortcode

Adds the [wpgalleryimage] shortcode for inserting into a post or a page one of the images you uploaded into your WordPress gallery.

By default, the gallery shortcode does not allow to limit the number of images displayed. This makes sense when you for example include all images attached to a post like this:
<pre><code>[gallery id="4"]
</code></pre>
When this plugin is activated, you may use:
<pre><code>[gallery id="4" limit="3"]
</code></pre>
and it will only display three images.
You can also use an offset parameter:
<pre><code>[gallery id="4" limit="3" offset="1"]
</code></pre>
Will display at most three images, starting at the second.
Note that this plugin is a little bit of a hack.

Limit parameter for gallery shortcode

Adds a limit parameter to the [gallery] shortcode.
