    HTML:
    <a href="http://localhost/manager/templates/muravey/img/r4_big.jpg" class="grouped_elements" rel="group1"> [[!getPhoto1]]</a>

    I use lightbox. Getting images this way: [[!getPhoto1]].

    Snippet code: 
    return '<img src="' . $modx->getObject('modResource', 4)->getTVValue('photo1') . '">';

    I want to get image path, now this doesnt work. $modx->getObject('modResource', 4)->getTVValue('photo1') - this returns the image, not the path. How can I get it?

    And how can I get the link to photo1 TV?

      Do you have the TV itself configured to use an output type of "Image"? If you just want the path, make sure to leave the output type at "Default".

        Now it is configured as image. If I configure it as Default - what to do later?

          The default output gives you the image path. With that, you won't need to change your snippet.

          Essentially 
          getTVValue('photo1')
          will output something like this: 
          /path/to/myimage.jpg
          which is what I think you want.
