resizing causes corrupted files?

[philbyuk]

hi all when i upload pics to ee2 some(about 50%) get corrupted on the big(600 largest size setting) and the large(800 largest size setting) ive tried lowering the compression in imagemagic to no avail (although the test pic comes out ok!) is there a better size for the original pics..im using 800 X 563? at moment)or is it my ftp s/ware (if it is can anyone suggest a cheap/free alternative? using ftpserver at mo) thanks

That sounds like you should increase PHP RAM usage in php.ini to 32MB.

thanks pekka is it ok to go higher? or is 32 the limit?

[philbyuk]

is this the setting in php.ini???
memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
if not where is it i cantsee it anywhere?

Could be that your php is compiled without memory limit, which means there is no such limit. Then the problem might be in other server settings which affect Imagemagick (like graphics libraries).
