Quick Question About Image Sizes

I've been looking through the demo sites and reading up on the documentation for Phoca for a while now and it looks really nice. The documentation is a little vague about the different image sizes (small, medium and large)...

I assume small is the thumbnail size you see on a gallery page. My questions are:
  • What is the difference between medium and large?
  • When I click on the image is it showing the medium or large size photo?
  • Is there any easy way to download/display a full resolution image (10megapixel)?
My biggest complaint about most online gallery sites is that they only offer crappy resolution images. I have some really high quality pictures that I want my friends to be able to see and download the full resolution images.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, there you can see images of the terms:

https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... d-glossary

Medium image is image you can see in list of images and large image is the image which is displayed in detail window (popup, modal, highslide, shadowbox, jak, ...)

If you click on image it will display the large image (e.g. if you will use Highlside JS, then you can display original images too)


Download /Display 10megapixel - you can easily upload it via ftp. This can be downloaded in list of images. The problem you can have is your server (limitation - e.g. of upload, download, GD library etc.)

If I read correctly, the pictures can be uploaded to a folder via FTP (no restrictions on filesize) and then "added" later on. That should have no probz with large file sizes right?

The potential problem is if I was using a web-uploader on the front or back end I believe...
