Jquery Zoom [Support thread]

[philip937]

I am sure I am missing something here, but I really do not understand why IH is needed. Other than it's use for watermarking and etc.

When I am setting up products with max 4 images.

I am re-sampling and saving the high resolution images to 72dpi and at 1200px X 1200px, which to me is a nice size file for zoom purposes. Each files size is about 199kb saved as JPEG Medium Quality.

- On the product listing display page the images get scaled down to 290px X 290px as per my admin parameters.
- On the Product info page all 4 images get loaded very fast, all together about 800kb (images - Not cached in the browser, when viewed first time).

Just upload one size image. I do not know what kind of problem you might have, when placing 3,000 to 4,000 (12,000 to 16,000 images) products online. Not that this site will have that many products!

Am I missing something here?

You don't need image handler. We are just trying to develop this so that it is compatible with or without IH. The file set I posted prior to the last works perfectly without image handler. It also works if you have one image or the default image medium and large images
