I have successfully uploaded a picutre, but the size is 8.3M. When I try to view the picture in the Admin module, the picture never loads and the Thumbnail (TN) file never gets created.
Is there a limitation?

If picture is not displayed it might be progressive jpg, and thumbnail making ability is limited by amount of memory reserved for php in server configuration. Usually its like 8 megabytes or something, also keep in mind that before thumbnail is created whole picture should be unpacked into bitmap in memory so it gets even bigger (try to save as .bmp without compression to get the idea).
Anyway my point is - there are some common sense limitations. But I think you can change memory limit to 256 or 512 megs to process it.
