Autoresize - size limit

[Lucifix]

I know that there is mod that will autoresize image if width or height is too big, but I couldn't find any mod that would lower image quality if image size (KB/MB) is too big?

So if member would like to upload image that is 5MB size, script would change quality to fit max size (etc. 500KB).

Hi,

you should set up under ACP > Settings > Upload settings:

Code: [Select]

Max. image size in KB
Max. image width in pixel
Max. image heigth in pixel
If someone uploads up to 5 MB picture you should set 5120kb
and the width / height you prefer.

thx but this is not what i'm looking for. What I want is if user is trying upload lets say 5MB photo and the limit is 1MB, quality of his photo will be automaticaly change so it will fit the limit (in this case 1MB).

With you suggestion user won't be able to upload photo which is bigger then limit, unless he will resize it.

The problem is, there is no way to predict how big will be the filesize after compression...

yes,  it is absurd that to limit the megabyte, therefore only the dimensions limit.

thx for info v@no.

What would you suggest to do, because some of my members complained that they don't have any graphic program to change file size and all of their photos are bigger then 1MB. I suppose if I set size limit to 5MB (with installed mod auto image resize) all uploaded images will be smaller then lets say 1MB?

@Rembrandt: thx for link, but I know that mod pretty well

best way is in ACP general/settings
Max. image width in pixel e.g. 1000px
Max. image heigth in pixel e.g 1000px

your user install this programm, very easy and simple.

Hi,

another solution for online resize with a little embedtation on your site:

Code: [Select]

<form encType="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="http://www.shrinkpictures.com/resize.php" target="_blank">
<input value="6000000" type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE"><b>1</b> Choose
Picture or Photo to Shrink <input size="30" type="file" name="image"><br>
<br>
<b>2</b> Select New Maximum Image dimension<br>
&nbsp; <input value="a" type="radio" name="size"> 760 Pixels
<input value="b" type="radio" name="size"> 600 Pixels
<input value="c" CHECKED type="radio" name="size"> 350 Pixels
<input value="d" type="radio" name="size"> 100 Pixels<br>
&nbsp; <input value="e" type="radio" name="size"> 75%
<input value="f" type="radio" name="size"> 50%
<input value="g" type="radio" name="size"> 25%<br>
&nbsp; <input value="h" type="radio" name="size"> Custom
<input value="50" size="6" type="text" name="customsize"> <span class="xs">
maximum 1000px</span><br>
<br>
<b>3</b> <input value="opt" type="checkbox" name="optional"> Apply an image
Special effect <em>(Optional)</em> <br>
&nbsp; <input value="grey" CHECKED type="radio" name="xtra"> Greyscale
<input value="sepia" type="radio" name="xtra"> Sepia<br>
<br>
<b>4</b> Set resized image quality <em>(jpg compression)</em><br>
&nbsp; <input value="a" type="radio" name="qual"> Good
<input value="b" CHECKED type="radio" name="qual"> Better
<input value="c" type="radio" name="qual"> Best <br>
<br>
<b>5</b> <input class="SB" value="Resize" type="submit"> <span class="xs">*
be patient if original picture is large</span>
</form>
you can also hardcode the settings:

Code: [Select]

<form encType="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="http://www.shrinkpictures.com/resize.php" target="_blank">
<input value="6000000" type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE">
<input value="c" type="hidden" name="qual">
<input value="opt" type="hidden" name="optional">
<input value="1000" size="6" type="hidden" name="customsize">
<input size="20" type="file" name="image">
<br><br>
<input class="SB" value="Resize" type="submit">
</form>

was macht das für einen sinn erst ein bild mit 5mb hochladen und dann sowieso nur ein bild mit ~500kb anzeigen, ausser endloses traffic..

[x23piracy]

Hi,

das ist doch sein Problem die Frage des Sinn und Zweck der Sache entsteht doch erst dann
wenn es richtig arbeit kosten würde.

Es gibt halt die zwei möglichkeiten das on und offline zu tun und wenn richtig Druck auf der
Leitung ist dann interessiert es doch eh keinen mehr ob man 3MB hochladen muss...
geschweige denn Otto-normal User.
