That image is about 9mb in file size...

I would guess that GD was unable to create smaller sizes (related to your bug report perhaps, locally mines OK up to about 7ish mb) and that's why its displaying the full one, it white pages on attempting to 'view all sizes'

There's currently an open bug report dealing with this.

Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon.

The files are simply too large for GD to manipulate with our 128MB memory limit. The options are

• Increase the memory limit (which our hosting guys aren't keen to do)
• Limit the size of files users can upload to the gallery

We have deleted those files and restricted submissions to 5MB, which *should* be ok in most cases.

Realistically, if you have an image-heavy site dealing with 10MB image files, you are probably best off using imagemagick instead of GD for resizing. It is much more efficient at handling larger images.

Can you put some kind of note in the ACP to limit your image size if you're using GD?

I've been using imagemagick on my community for over a year, so maybe that's why I never noticed. I was going to second what Lucy said, or maybe a notice recommending users use Imagemagick if they're going to be supporting large uploads as well.

Still, a 128M limit isn't enough for a 8MB image? That's quite surprising, what memory limit would you generally need to handle such images?

I assume Gallery 5 has image resolution restrictions like what previous gallery versions have?

If the image could be re-sized on upload, this would be brilliant.

The problem is, if you have no memory limit (or an extremely high one), GD can still handle large images. It just requires a LOT of memory to do so.

I would need a copy of your 8MB image so I can work with it locally in my profiling setup to determine how much memory is actually consumed. It's not something I'd like to guess at.

You referring to pixel width and height? If so, yes.

Images are resized upon upload.

Well, that does remind me, I believe all the images that remained "massive" gave that 500 error on upload.

Could IP.Gallery detect that the image failed to resize and simply reject/delete it?

When PHP throws a fatal error, that's it, end of script execution. There might be ways to work around that, but I'm not sure they're worth it at the moment.

Understandable. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

I think as long as some warning is displayed under the file size limit setting that should be sufficient.
