HOW-TO: Image Preparation

[Saraniel]

I forgot to mention that he copyright is a metadata integrated into the image (XMP -IPTC). It is not a text that will display on the image.
From Photoshop, go to file > file info > look at the Copyright Notice and Info URL. Here they are.

In regards to the file system error, this is maybe due to the destination directory string. Is there a space character after the c:\ ?

Best regards,

Another newbie here. I've uploaded all my products with EZ Populate, and have been working on the scripting and different images today. From everything I can see the files are in the right locations and with the right extensions, but the only size showing up is the thumbnail for all 3 views.

#1 is there something obvious that I'm missing?

#2 in the configuration/images menu which images do I set to 400 pixels (my large files) and which do I set to the 200 pixels (_MED)?

I'm grateful for any help.

Also, I used the kidsavenue script generator and I think it worked great!

Well I think I figured it out, I just hadn't put the .jpg extension on the product form.

Hi all

Not sure I can offer a new thing and maybe it was discussed previously but I'll try :)
So, load main picture using form in admin and _LRG / _MED pictures via FTP is Ok, but really hard for ordinary users who usually load content to their shops.
Why not use a perfect GDI2 library of php and enjoy? Just ask user to load only one picture and reduce it size and width/height to the valued defined in config. And automatically upload original loaded picture as _LRG, upload picture reduced to middle size as _MID and the smallest (reduces by gdi2) upload as an preview picture.
Or this technique already released somewhere?
I gonna to release but maybe it is already done :)

I created three folders on my hard drive: thumbs, medium and large and marked the medium files _MED and large _LRG.

In my web-host's control panel (C-panel) I have a folder
"www. ..../store/admin/images/"
that includes folders "LARGE" and "MEDIUM" (those folders are populated with ZEN Cart template images of merchandise).

I tried uploading my images into those two folders and the images show up in my "product description page" and "larger image" pop-up window.

Now, here is the problem:
When I upload _MED image into MEDIUM folder, the image in both the MEDIUM and LARGE folders is medium size, and that is what is displayed in "product description page" and "larger image" pop-up window.
As soon as I upload a _LRG image into LARGE folder, the image in MEDIUM is replaced by the _LRG image.
If I re-upload the _MED image into MEDIUM folder, the _LRG image in the LARGE folder is replaced my a _MED image.
It keeps me running in circles.

What's up? Am I using a wrong folder/directory for uploads?

BTW, this is a problem, as I did not want to transform my Large image into a regular square the way I did my MED images. So where MEd size should go (product description) I get a very blurry, distorted image.

Are you doing the upload in a wholesale manner? That is, just dragging a folder of folders up? If so, try opening the medium folder locally and in your FTP window, and drag just the MED images from your local medium folder into the server's medium folder. Then do the same for the LRG images from and to the large folder. In other words, ftp the files into the existing folder structure. See if that fixes the problem.

actually when enabling large pictures with just 5k thumbnails, page load time slows to a crawl, at least on windows servers..

Has anyone gotten multiple pics to load fast on a windows server (IIS or Apache) installation?

I get 13 second page loads on a P4 , 4gig ram, win 2003 server, iis6 php5 etc.. , even with a WAMP install multiple pics cripple the server, I assume it has something to do with file permission and ifexists in php on a windows box vs a linux box.. That's the last thing for me to test is a linux installation.

Zen Cart 1.3.8

I am not sure how to tell the category listing to not resize the image. I want it to use the _MED image instead of forcing a resize. Where do I make this change? Thank you!

Hi guys, another newbie here and another simple question.
I have my main page with products images; the "strange" is that when i change the subcategory image size this affect both the images in main page AND the subcategory images.
Instead i would like to have "big" image in main page and "small" image for subcategory.

Second question for today is that i would like to have my subcategory image beside (aligned right) the top subcategory image (now are under). Or, at list aligned differently.
I have tried to change subcategory alignment (show 1 image for row) but this will affect also the images in the main page.

Thanks
