First of all, your server may not allow uploading of this large files through the http-based Imagevue admin, because there is often a limit of 2mb. Furthermore, even if you do get to upload this file size, your server is likely incapable of creating thumbnails from this size images. Most importantly though, may I ask why you are uploading this large images? They will be resized down to 20-40% of original size anyway of visitors screens, and that means they are needlessly waiting longer to load images, and you are creating an excessive burden on your server.

For the record, the upload limit would be in your server PHP config (ini) and is likely set to 2mb. You would probably need to upload large files like this through FTP if need be.

thank you, thats what I was trying to tell my boss. I will let him know.
