Hi I was just created a staffTeaser page that displays a preview of some content from my staff page on my home page. I was wondering if anyone knew of a function that would go in the text.php that would allow me to pull just the image and the first 2 sentences from my staff content.

I am aware of functions like

$Content.firstSentence

and

$Content.summary

but I want to make something like $Content.firstImage.
I am very new to PHP to any guidance would be a BIG help, thanks guys :-)
