This is my first drupal install so please bear with me if this is stupid. I'm following along in the book "Using Drupal" published by O'Rielly. I'm trying to build a site like chapter 7s family photo site. At the step where I'm creating the new content type "photo" and then I define a field for it called "image". I cannot get "image" to be available in the field type drop down under the manage fields page. I have image field installed, file field, all their dependencies and a number of other modules just to see if they would work. Because I didn't have the book when I first started this project I even deleted my entire install and started again from scratch because I assumed I messed something up. please, any suggestions would be helpfull. I've now spent almost 2 full days on just this problem and Im at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks for your suggestion VeryMisunderstood. I don't know why I couldn't see it but when I went back and looked it worked the way you said. When I looked in the book again the settings diagram for that part was in error. I'm going to double check the errata page for that book and if it isn't listed I'm going to submit it.
