Hi I can't find how I can add an image from external link via the image tab.
I use BM Slider For K2 and displays the image only if i upload it via Image tab.
Is there any way ?
(Sorry for my english language if i made any mistake)

Hello,

Only images stored locally are supported as K2 images.
You need an extrafield in order to have remotely stored images.

However this will require changes in your template and I am not sure that BM Slider supports it.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

The reason for the external link , is that the site has many aticles and i have problem with the available space. So I thouhgt tha would be better if I replace all the images with an external link . For example I could upload my images to postimg.com which gives free space and links. Do you know any module or something that I could use to achieve it?

If postimg crashes or ends its service you will lose all your media without any notice.

If I were you, I would look into AWS services or Joomla! extensions which offer AWS integration.
