Any way to set a preview? Complicated.
« on: May 24, 2006, 05:57:18 PM »
I am using very high resolution files when uploading to 4images. I am also using version 1.7.2.

When clicking the original thumbnail, it takes me directly to my high res file that I uploaded. This will not work. I need to preview an 800x600(max). Not my high res files.
Is there any way to show a smaller(in pixels) size file on the page, and when clicking the download button, it will download the high res file instead?

It's like a three step process in a sense. Thumbnail>Preview>Full Size.

I know Menalto Gallery will do this just fine. Where is the option here? Do we have such options?

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

i have the same setup. all i do is make a smaller version in photoshop and then point the download link to the high res version (1600 x 1200) but i guess your looking for something that automaticly converts your image to a smaller version.
