Imagemagick and GD2 Problem.

clothahump · February 6th, 2006, 04:12 AM

On uploading an image of 81.91kb the file size is converted but the wrong way, end result is a file size of 207.73kb, at this rate my gallery is soon going to be full up.

- moved to bugs

Any idea how long this might take to fix? I would like to open up the Gallery to my members.

Just a vague idea would be good.

Goofen around w/ different images on a windows box w/ ImageMagik. I need to test GD2 still. I'll rip appart bits of code while more results are compiled and see what I can find.

- Looks like GIF is ok size wise, but no Watermark.
- PNG, JPG attach the watermark, but resize to MED size is off (2x larger).
- MP3, WMF, PDF - all ok

Looks like this could take some time, I suppose I will have to let my members have access to the Gallery and rebuild all thumbs later, bit of a waste of money otherwise.

Zachariah · February 12th, 2006, 10:46 AM

Copy of this thread in the DEV area.
Not too long.

clothahump · February 15th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Is anybody else having the same problem?

clothahump · February 16th, 2006, 06:02 PM

Can anybody give me a clue as to if this will be sorted out, my gallery is now 10 days old and still empty, I would like to use it this Century if possible.

clothahump · February 17th, 2006, 03:52 PM

As per Chuck's INSTRUCTIONS.
Server was completely updated November 2005 with all image scripts up to date.
So this is a server problem and not vbgallery???

clothahump · February 17th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Just checked with server owner and it all works fine so it has to be VBGallery.........
Just my luck to pick a script that does not work.............

Zachariah · February 17th, 2006, 07:54 PM

This is something we are working on.
- The reason it is a sticky in the bugs area and not closed.
- When there is an answer it will be posted and closed.

Chuck S · February 19th, 2006, 09:37 AM

Okay well this is my recommended change to functions_gallery_imageedit.php to help strip the exif data on medium images to get the filesize down

Line 173 of that file change the line to this and do your testing for Imagemagick. Issue I see it is exif data is not being stripped from the file so mediums can not be compressed.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

clothahump · February 19th, 2006, 10:56 AM

So what about GD2????

clothahump · February 19th, 2006, 11:03 AM

functions_gallery_imageedit.php does not exist?

Chuck S · February 19th, 2006, 12:46 PM

Of course the file exists. Looks in your vbulletin includes directory

The only difference I did to the command line was to add in the profile statement to strip exif from the resized image which should allow it to be smaller than the iriginal

I see no issue with gd2 at all here

original image in gd2 test shows 105.79 KB
resized image in gd2 test shows 65.50 KB

Now using Imagemagick

original Image with new Mogrify command shows 87.4 KB
resized image with new Mogrify command shows 62.83 KB

Before the resized image was like double the original file using mogrify

EDIT BY THE WAY for Zachs info.

YOUR CAN NOT WATERMARK A GIF IMAGE

Thats lame.
w/ the option of transparent Gif98a you would think it would be no big deal
