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

disregard the part of the lightbox files...sorry got myself confused

I assume you fixed it, as it is working for me on the product listings as well as everywhere else.

I am having trouble with zoom on hover. It works ok for products in the side boxes but not in the product listing, new products, or featured products.

My site is http://www.thehookahstore.com/

Places where the zoom on hover DOES work are.

Sideboxes for featured products. and when viewing a product, the section for "Customers who bought this product also purchased" works. Nothing else will zoom.

Will IH3 compress my images in a similar fashion to the option "Save for Web Devices" in Photoshop?

good question, that part of IH ahs always eluded me so someone else will need to chime in. I have not used it and only edit my images with Photoshop and the save for web feature.

Yes, compressing and displaying images in various sizes is the primary function of IH3. You can also tell it (via the settings after installation) which image format you want your images displayed in.

Suggest you download the installation package and review the READ_ME in it's entirety to understand everything IH3 will do for your cart. It's awesome!

The Caveat which a lot of people don't understand, is that imageHandler copies the images from the images folder compresses and resizes the images and stores them in the bmz_cache and serves these images on your site.
The original images that you upload into the images folder are not changed in anyway, this is to ensure that if you decide to change the image type, compression, watermark etc of images displayed on your site imagehandler can go back to the original untouched files, and create new images matching your changed specs to serve up to the customers.

As DarkAngel says its a good idea to save your original images for the web, because if you upload straight from your camera the images are often a 1 -3mb in size and that takes up a lot of server space once you get a few hundred products
