Image Handler 3 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

[harold]

I doubt that IH4 will solve the issue.. It sounds to me like the issue is with your source files.. If you are "creating" these images within Photoshop something in this process is creating a file that is corrupted/damaged. In any case the issue is not Image Handler, but something to do with your source images..

Not its really something with my installation of IH (of something else). I just used an png that I downloaded from internet (some picture of the movie Brave). Same problem!

The strange thing is that is goes wrong on my old server at home and now again at my new ubuntu vps server...

I'll do some more testing to figure out whats causing this problem.

Since this is not a commonly reported issue, it's more likely that the issue is specific to your server (again NOT an IH3 issue)..

If you are happy with working through shell you should be able to scale a test image using either imagemagick or GD. If you aren't happy with shell or don't have shell access then you could write a script to do it. There are pages and pages of instructions on how to do both these on the web. I'd do that first and see if your server is chewing up the images. I am not saying that it is but it would be a good idea to prove to yourself that it is not.

I'd guess that just upgrading to IH4 is not going to make a whole lot of difference because I do not believe ( not 100% sure here ) that the code that actually does the scaling has not been changed for a while. Bits around that core have been altered, but not that core - I believe.

Sorry not to be of more help than that but as Diva says this is not a widely reported issue.
