Do not display uploaded images on the page before clicking save.

[PawelGIX]

I often use the API to output images directly from image fields without going through the WYSIWYG.

When I go to add an image in the admin, I discovered that this image is immediately displayed on the front end, even before I save the page. And if I decide not to save my changes, the image is still saved to the page!

This almost burned me a couple times when I uploaded an image just as a demonstration and then later discovered that the image had actually gone up on the site!

That's not normal PW behaviour and when I tested I couldn't reproduce it. If images have been uploaded but the containing page not saved, those images are not part of the formatted value of the images field. Check that:

1. You are not outputting the unformatted value of the field somehow, e.g. page output formatting is off, or you are using $page->getUnformatted()
2. There is no module or non-core code that is automatically saving the page.
