Pre-sales: reduce image size on upload

[brewster]

I would like to know if there is a feature whereby if someone has say a 3 MB image and they have no idea how to resize it on their own, is there a feature that will force a resize of the image on upload to say maybe 250k or 650px wide / high? -- dan

Hello

Images are resized based on dimension not filesize. Now setting quality higher or lower will determine how big things are. These are some of the photo upload options in admin to give you an idea


Thumbnail image max width and height in pixels

Max allowable image width in pixels

Max allowable image height in pixels

Trigger medium graphic height and width
An uploaded larger than this will create a medium image of this size.
Photo uploads increment user post count?

Save and display medium and large images?

Quality setting for image resizing/thumbnails?

If photo upload width or height exceeds maximums, resize upload down to max dimensions?

Display and extract EXIF information from images?

Maximum multimedia upload size in kB

Acceptable multimedia file types?
Seperate file types by a comma and include the . (example: .mpg,.wma,.asf,.mp3)
Acceptable image file types?
Seperate file types by a comma and include the . (example: .jpg,.gif,.png)

You will still have one issue that has nothing to do with photopost though when your talking 3 mb files. Your server's PHP will be set to this by default

upload_max_filesize 2M

You will need to alter your php.ini file or if you do not have permissions ask your host to edit it to a higher number before you will be allowed to upload 3MB files.

Chuck: Regardless of the 3 MB issues, these features sound amazing. I am now sold on the software. I have been using coppermine and am just too frustrated with it. This sounds better. -- thanks, dan
