Strictly speaking, and under normal settings, its true that you can't upload
images outside of the catalog space; this is a security feature of
Interchange. However, you can symlink from the www space, images directory
back into the catalog space. That way, interchange places an uploaded file
in <catroot>/images/whatever and this appears in html space.

Being unable to upload images usually results from either a missing symlink,
or incorrect permissions in the images directories (the interchange user
needs to be able to write to them).
