Hi,

I've placed a photo of 3072*2304 into the album folder by ftp.

It is showing in the album, when I click on the image tab to give the image a description etc. The image preview is not there, in place it says "crop IMG_5165.JPG" . When I click on the album to view the image, the preview ones are not there. I can only see the image when I click onto the full size one. Is there a limit of photo resolution that zenphot can handle?

Thanks

I ran into similar when posting up some of my panoramic shots. I don't think it's a limitation of Zenphoto itself, more of a limitation of php is my understanding of it. But then I guess I could be wrong, we'll see if someone else weighs in. If you're able to, try upping the php memory limitation and see if it works.

It's explained on the troubleshooting guide.

Ah,

I think I found what your talking about?? So this is a physical limitation on our webhosts server? Thanks. See...

Why are some of my thumbnails/sized images not generated? Why does Zenphoto make my server crash while processing images?

If you’re running a web server on a VPS or other resource-limited environment, then you might not have enough memory available to the server to process very large images. You can use the following table as a guideline to see how much memory you need available to process images of different sizes:

* VGA Image, 640 x 480 pixels => needs ~4.1 MB Memory
* SVGA Image, 800 x 600 pixels => needs ~4.8 MB Memory
* 1 MP Image, 1024 x 798 pixels => needs ~6.3 MB Memory
* 2 MP Image, 1600 x 1200 pixels => needs ~11.7 MB Memory
* 6 MP Image, 2816 x 2112 pixels => needs ~22.6 MB Memory
* 8.2 MP Image, 3571 x 2302 pixels => needs ~41.7 MB Memory

As you can see, the 8.2-Megapixel 3571×2302 image requires a very large amount of memory to process, and that’s simply because of the number of pixels. It doesn’t matter if the image is only 2 or 3 megabytes when compressed in JPEG form, or what colors the image contains or anything– it’s just how big it is, because all of those pixels have to have a place in memory while the GD library processes them. There’s no way around it!

Exactly.
