School me on image sizing

I'm looking to play with the image settings on my site but have never really messed with them. So I'm look for someone who can school me on the basics.

Thanks.

 

A long time ago someone who knows about images walked me through it. He recommended "ImageMagick 6", Path to binarys "/usr/bin"

We found it works better than GD.

Hope this helps. We are using 3.7.4 PL1

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

I missed the words 'image sizing' in the title.

In the bottom of the config.php file is the max size for re-sizing pictures. You may want to be aware of that.

I have removed all pixel size restrictions on the uploaded pictures. But put a limit on the size of pictures upload in KB. Think it is 125kb. So any pictures that are less than the pixel size restrictions in the config.php file will get squeezed down to 125kb, but could be any size. Usually they are about 600x800 pixels.

 

Hello Everyone,
I know this is probably a silly newbie question but I was working on the same thing.

My question is:
Do I change these settings in the config.php and then upload it to mysql overwriting the original or can I use the FTP to change them?

While I am on it can I change the “comod” file permissions though the FTP or do these have to be uploaded and overwritten too.

Thank you for the help in advance.
