Hi John,
If you replace the {desc} Inkfrog tag with the Auctiva [DESCRIPTION_AND_IMAGES] tag (case sensitive so do it in caps), the template will operate with image placement and arrangements identical to standard Auctiva stock templates (including paired).
In examining the template you posted, that replacement is necessary for all the tags in order to migrate to Auctiva with full functions, eg. replace {pterms} with the equivalent Auctiva tag [PAYMENT].
