+### Setting Default Values
+
+Currently, there is no way to specify default values for all `<Image />` and `<Picture />` components. Required attributes should be set on each individual component.
+
+As an alternative, you can wrap these components in another Astro component for reuse. For example, you could create a component for your blog post images:
+
+```astro title="src/components/BlogPostImage.astro"
+---
+import { Picture } from '@astrojs/image/components';
+
+const {src, ...attrs} = Astro.props;
+---
+<Picture src={src} widths={[400, 800, 1500]} sizes="(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 736px" {...attrs} />
+
+<style>
+  img, picture :global(img), svg {
+    margin-block: 2.5rem;
+    border-radius: 0.75rem;
+  }
+</style>
+```
+
+### Using `<img>` with the Image Integration
+
+The official image integration will change image imports to return an object rather than a source string.
+The object has the following properties, derived from the imported file:
+```ts
+{
+  src: string;
+  width: number;
+  height: number;
+  format: 'avif' | 'gif' | 'heic' | 'heif' | 'jpeg' | 'jpg' | 'png' | 'tiff' | 'webp';
+}
+```
+
+If you have the image integration installed, refer to the `src` property of the object when using `<img>`.
+
+```astro ".src"
+---
+import rocket from '../images/rocket.svg';
+---
+<img src={rocket.src} alt="A rocketship in space."/>
+```
+
+Alternatively, add `?url` to your imports to tell them to return a source string.
+
+```astro "?url"
+---
+import rocket from '../images/rocket.svg?url';
+---
+<img src={rocket} alt="A rocketship in space."/>
+```
+
 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - If your installation doesn't seem to be working, try restarting the dev server.
