I've never uploaded an image to NS until just a few minutes ago and it told me my image was to large (size over 100k). Im a ColdFusion programmer and I know that ColdFusion has a function that can take any image and reisze it to within given specifications while still maintaining constaints. I know that NS isnt ColdFusion isnt it PHP? I would think that PHP would also have some function to resize images as well. That would be nice if the site could automatically resize images. Just a thought
 
I don't think NS is php actually.

As for the image thing...

Photoshop is where it is at for resizing for internet.
 
if it isnt php what is it?

Photoshop is ok for resizing but Fireworks is much better for resizing. I think it compress's it a lot nicer.
 
Eh, I might be thinking back to the old days possibly.

Sometimes I am wrong.
 
sure, you can write script to resize an image, but thats not what the NS size limit is. in fact, you can resize an image easy enough with plain old html. pixels are not the same as Kb my friend. i'd imagine it would be quite a task to write a script to compress an image's file size down to 100k.
 
Thats what I mean. let me rephrase what I said it can compress the images while still maintaining height and size
 
Hey guys,

I think we are totally going to do this.

The problem is that images that come from modern digital cameras are multiple megs in size. NS Only accepts images smaller than 100k. Which means you have to resize every image before you upload it.

NS does us PHP, and PHP does have functions to manipulate images. We use this technique in the new picture gallery to create the thumbnails.

I'd like to upgrade the gallery to accept images as big as 5Meg, which would then be saved to a smaller version for use on the site. It would keep images loading quickly, and would be much easier to use than the current picture gallery.

not sure if this would go over well on NS but if you could tag images facebook style I think that would be kinda neat.

If you don't know what I'm talking about its like this. You upload the picture, then you click on the picture where there is a person and mark a user. So then you could click like "View pictures of User" and see all the pictures other people have uploaded of them.
 
definitely agree with not having to resize images whilst everything still remaining fast
