extra images too small for image handler

[jewelrylady]

I tried this, I make a noresize folder in the images folder and it still resizes it.

any other ideas?

OK, It does work. I had to rename the jpg to a gif. But Its not the effect i need. I will have to keep playing with the images.

thank you very much.

Jewelrylady,

While I have not gone live with my 1.3+ upgrade yet, I have installed Tim's IH2. I uploaded file (.jpg) in the size I set for the Large images. I have the base image plus any additional images for that product. (If I wanted NO addtional images, I would never upload anything in the first place.)

Then, I use the admin for IH2 to set the file type and sizes for base, medium and large. I use

base = gif, 150x113, no watermark
medium = jpg, 200x150, no watermark
large = jpg, 500x375, with watermark.

I installed IH2 to get away from sorting out multiple sizes for each image. Usually, I have the base image plus 4 additional images. Now I load 5 images (500x375, jpg) and IH2 handles the resizing. Before, I loaded 15 images for the same product.

While the Flash image handler you mention is nice, isn't the zoom just a large image in a small box? What if you just resize from 300x200 to 600x400? That looks about the same 'zoom' as in the site you mention. IH2 does everything I need and is great mod.

You can control the size of your images. If you want small and medium to be the same can't you just do that in the admin? If you want a Flash image handler, let me know when you have finished the programming. I will be glad to beta test.

Best wishes.

NO I want the zoom, plus it protects your images. I need a fancier option.

thanks.

I want the zoom,

You are totally in control of the amount of zoom using IH2. The primary difference seems to be that IH2 shows the entire image while the Flash version you mention only shows part of the image. How is that better?

plus it protects your images.

IH2 let's me customize the watermark for size and location. Further, I suspect with a little searching, you could figure out how to use Javascript to disable the right click and save option.

I need a fancier option.

Best wishes on writing your code.
