How do I configure Image Handler 2 to create images with different file sizes?

[henryvuong]

I have used Image Handler 2 with Zen Cart 1.3.8a for a while. The mod works fine, but it does not create images with different file sizes. For example, if I upload "picture.jpg" with the file size 50KB, it will create two additional images, "picture_LRG.jpg" and "picture_MED.jpg". All three will have the same file size at 50KB. This is not what I expected. I thought IH2 should reduce the file size of the medium and small images?

Let us see where you have this installed

Your site url

There're only a few test items now. The images appear at different pixels but the file sizes are not.

Have you emptied your browser cache?
I see your images at different file size.

henryvuong,

On that site I do not see that IH2 has been enabled as the images are not referencing their location as the BMZ cache

Yes I enabled IH2.

I'm talking about file size (KB) not dimensions (pixels). The dimensions are different but the file sizes are not. You can see it by saving all three images (thumbnail, medium, and large) of the same item to your computer and check the file size, they are the same.

Must not have done this correctly....

Right click one of your images and select "properties" and the path to the image is like this:

In a properly working Zen Cart with IH2 it will be like this:
