Trying to get a folder in place for high res downloads.
While I can upload my images, I get no thumbnails, when I edit the thumbnail and resize the image the screen goes black.
The folder is password protected, and is used for event photography.
My questions is simple, is there a limit to file size?
Below is the file details.
Size: 14.4Mb
Thumbnail: iv-includes/images/thumbs/jpg.jpg
Width: 7360
Height: 4912
Type: JPG

Re: Downloading High Res Images
Unfortunately, there are two problems here ... The main problem, is that your server is not powerful enough to create thumbnails from images of that size. Second, there is a memory limit inside flash of approximately 4000 x 4000 px dimensions ...
I would question though, how practical is it for a visitor to be viewing 14MB photos in a slideshow? Would take several minutes wait just to a view a photo before one could view it, even on fast connections.
There is a special setting in imagevue under admin -> settings -> controls.altimage. It allows you to create a folder "_altimage" inside a normal folder, where you can store high-resolution versions of your images. So basically you have a folder /myphotos/, with normal web sizes for nice fast viewing at normal screen sizes ... You may be viewing an image /myphotos/picture.jpg - When someone clicks "download" or "view in popup", it looks for the same filename in the corresponding folder /myphotos/_altimage/picture.jpg (which is of course the high-res version). This would solve your problem, because thumbnails would be created, and you can have normal viewing of images, yet downloads will be in high-res.
