Large images

[MotoUp]

If I try and upload anything larger than 1024x768, even though I have my max set at 1600x1200, I get a black white page. No error, and no picture.

Any ideas?

Also, if a user posts an image that is larger than the max dimensions, shouldn't it resize it accordingly? If so, mine isn't doing that.

Your host has a low amount of memory allocated to PHP. You need to ask them to either up this limit, or install ImageMagick as it does not have the same memory restrictions that GD does.

The PHP memory limit is set to 8 MB. I know the images aren't even over a MB. Think that would make any difference?

The filesize of the images doesn't matter. GD uses your server's memory and the amount of memory used depends on the dimensions of the image.

Imagemagick seems to work much better than GD..

I was having all sorts of problems uploading until I switched over..

ImageMagick really is a much better program than GD and I would highly recommend it for anyone that has the option to use it.
