 ## Overview

 The Configurable Image Switcher extension enhances the user experience on your Magento storefront by automatically updating the main product image when a customer selects a configurable product option.

 When a customer chooses a specific variation (such as color or size) on the product page, the main display image dynamically switches to the image of the associated simple product.

 Image Fallback Settings: If an associated simple product does not have an uploaded image, the extension can be configured via the admin panel to either:

  - Display the default image placeholder.
 - Retain the current main product image without changing.
