How to capture images in basic forms and dynamically display image galleries to site users?

Are you using images on Power Pages forms?

I’m keen to hear people’s real-world experiences (good and bad) for this.

Unless I’m doing it wrong it seems incredibly difficult to allow a user to submit multiple images with a basic form and then display those submitted images back to them (e.g. in a gallery on the submitted form)?

Images (on submission) can be stored as a note / in blob storage or SharePoint as far as I can see, but for a basic form (my scenario) only the old-fashioned note approach will actually work (as the parent record must exist to upload the files using the other approaches).

So, options for display and manipulation? I can use flow for replication to SharePoint and / or the Dataverse, then potentially use custom web templates, virtual table providers or both for display?

However, all that feels like I’m hacking something that should work out of the box.

Does anyone have any alternative approaches / success stories they can share?

    p.s. I attached 3 images to this post to see what they would do - they display as download links (not the images) - not the required behaviour

    There's not really an out of the box way to display uploaded images (closest out of the box would be Web Files which you then access as a url). 
     
    However, if the file is stored as a Notes attachment, then subject to the portal user having appropriate Table Permissions to the Notes record you can access the file by <yoursiteurl>/_entity/annotation/<guid of the notes record>  (or could use the portals Web API and use Ajax/safeAjax to retrieve it).
