Image Manager: No thumbnails with files larger than little more than 1MB

[RazorMedia]

Uploading files works fine, even large ones. The problem is that when uploading large images, no thumbnail is created. I can´t even change the size in the image editor.

Any suggestions of what could be wrong?

Using CMSMS 1.1

Am I the only one having this problem?

I have the same problem

Since I am on a dial up connection    I have found reducing the image size to 1024px = about 125k which still gives a good image, allows the creation of thumbnails and you can actuually see the image in image manager.

Certainly improves page loading times on slow connections too

I´m having the same problem. Files larger than 800 kB cause problems. Reducing them with Photoshop from 2000 x ... to 800 x 600 solves the problem. But is really a pain. Think this might be a memory problem, but not sure.

PHP might be running out of memory while trying to generate the thumbnail. If you don't have access to php.ini you can try setting: ini_set("memory_limit", "16M"); in config.php.  Just a thought.

i just tried with a 2mb 3000x2500px file
thumbs get created fine, they just dont show up in the image manager.
when i try to scale the uploaded image i get an internal server error.

/*
@ edit
@ everything (editing images, thumbnail creation) works fine on localhost btw.
*/

it would really be nice if there was a switch in the image manager config somewhere where one could set
max dimensions for images being uploaded, above which they automatically get scalled down.

i've been trying to implement this my self over the last days but failed

Hi all
After I altered the memory_limit in .htaccess to 40M the Image Manager managed to create a thumbnail of images of 2000x3000 pixels.

Could it be negative to have that large memory limit? I don´t want to tell my customer that he´ll have to scale down the images before he uploads them since he don´t have Photoshop.
