Allowed memory size exhausted

Hi,

that's possible. I might have to do with the PHP memory_limit.

You could of course resize the original image.

sitting in the same boat...

Is it possible to handle large (original) artwork or photos with phoca gallery? I have to deal with the original files, so resizing before an upload is no option.
I read about GD2 library... and the PHP memory limit settings... can i really solve the problem and set the limits to an extreme value? I guess the server owner or provider is not amused or even don´t let me change this to an extreme?!

TIA!

Hi, Phoca Gallery only sends information to the GD, so thumbnails are created by your server's GD library and it depends on your server (php, cpu, gd) if it will be able to create thumbnails from large files. Mostly GD has problem with large resolution not with large size.

Interesting hint. You mean if it has a high dpi value instead of the typical screen setttings for digital photos, right? So, the same file with same megabytes can cause trouble if it is a scan with 240-300 dpi... but the same filesize with 72dpi is working better?!

Hi, mostly high resolution = large size. But sometimes it can be different. Large file with smaller resolution. I got information from users, that the problem is mostly the resolution (dpi). So yes, try to change the dpi, maybe this will help
