what is the largest megapixel picture that one can upload, if I recall correctly in 1.8 it was 10 Megapixels. I now have 12 Megapixels and I have been looking at a larger one.

We use php gd library for scaling it uses php memory so you can load image as big as you can give to php process to handle, and its quite cpu consuming to resize images that big.
What about filesize its limited at 8Mb for admin's uploader, thats actually editable but it's barely thumbnailable by php.
Using ftp access you can upload images as big as flash can handle - I do not have exact data on that, but wouln't recommend upload images directly from camera.

I have a few comments and questions related to your question.frank3427 wrote:what is the largest megapixel picture that one can upload, if I recall correctly in 1.8 it was 10 Megapixels. I now have 12 Megapixels and I have been looking at a larger one.
#1 Although you can upload large images, Imagevue will usually not be able to automatically create thumbnails for very large images like you mention. The reason for this is because servers have restrictions on memory allocation. You would have to create thumbnails manually, unless you controls/own your own server where you can turn off memory allocation restrictions.
#2 Flash only supports images that are 2000px 2000px or smaller. Images larger than this, seem to just become white. This is nothing we can change in Imagevue as it is part of the Flash player. I believe it is a restriction related to memory usage.
- I do need to question why you would want to upload 12megapixel photos for Imagevue. Filesizes are way beyond anything a visitor would want to wait for, and the image will need to be scaled down drastically to display in the screen anyway. Seems like a waste of space, bandwidth and visitor-patience to me.
There is a setting in V2 "altimage" which allows you to create a subfolder in each imagefolder, where you can maintain large/original images. As described in the themeConfig.xml:frank3427 wrote:I am a student and a few of use are sharing raw pictures, we understand the issue with size and time for downloading.
Code
Sets an extended folder path '_altimage/' to open a different version of selected image. Effects the functions popup, window and download imageAhh perfect. This is close to the solution I'm looking for. If we now had the chance to put full size pictures directly into the gallery, and then the software automagically made a resized copy of the pictures for viewing and automagically was putting the original image into _altimage.mjau-mjau wrote:There is a setting in V2 "altimage" which allows you to create a subfolder in each imagefolder, where you can maintain large/original images.

The resized images will display in imagevue, but when for example clicking download, or "open in window", it will open the original full size image.CodeSets an extended folder path '_altimage/' to open a different version of selected image.

Unfortunately, this takes us back to square 1. Unless you run your own server, Imagevue simply can not resize your full size images.rune wrote:Ahh perfect.

You would have to deploy this manually:
1. Create your new folder.
2. Create a subfolder "_altimage" and set it to "hidden" in admin.
3. Upload resized images to the original folder, and upload full-size images to the _altimage folder.
4. Enable the altimage setting.
