The last 2 photos uploaded to our gallery have highly pixelated thumbs. Any ideas why this has happened please?

Did you try doing a REBUILD THUMBNAIL (while Edit Photo) to see? Maybe something changed on your server (using GD or IM)?

I am using GD2. I tried the rebuild but there was no change. I tried an upload myself and got the same high pixelation. I switched to IM and when I uploaded I got this error

Quote:

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

Command:

"/usr/local/bin/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 150x113 -quality -geometry 150x113 -unsharp 10 '/home/sites/www.volvoclub.org.uk/web/photopost/data/514/thumbs/3173_1.jpg'

No pics can now be uploaded. There was no problem yesterday.

I dont see any bad photos in your recent photo block

There would definately as Michael said been a change on your server. You sure you have gd2 selected in global options and gd2 is on your server not gd1?

I took them off, but I've put another there now for you to see. Yes, we have GD2. Nothing has changed on the server nor the PP config since the last uploads yesterday. This has happened today.

Have you verified this by viewing your PHP information cause that definately looks like what happens when someone chooses the wrong gd type

whats your quality setting in upload options set to?

firstrebel · August 22nd, 2006, 03:47 PM

Yes we have GD2, see attachment gd.png. Not sure which upload setting you refer to so see attachment options.jpg.

I'd leave it at GD2 - did you try uploading another JPG to see if it continues? Something had to have changed or its the images themselves for something to stop working.

Your missing the image quality option to set the image quality from upload options that I am seeing do you see it anywhere?

The image/thumb 'Test' was uploaded by me after this error was found, so it was still doing it. Nothing has been changed on the server by the ISP nor me..I checked the log. Today another image has been uploaded, 'vallis06058' and the same problem persists.

Where will I look for this please.

Thanks

In your upload options I dont see the quality selector as it should be there in the picture you attached.

Look in your settings tables does an 88 setting exist? if not run that query in phpmyadmin and then try an upload.
