Title: Dimensions of watermarked images in my Symbiostock site
Post by: Millionstock.com on August 30, 2013, 18:50
I'm setting up my Symbiostock site using the 2.5.5 version.
When I upload and process an image, the watermarked image have the same dimensions (in MB and pixel) of the original one, and this will reduce the navigation speed on the site  :(
How can I reduce the dimension of the watermarked image?

Here the address of an example of watermarked image:

Thanks a lot for the help!
Alex

The current version is 2.6.3. I haven't seen that problem (and don't recall seeing anywhere that you get to set the dimensions of the preview image) so perhaps it's a bug in the version you have?

How are you uploading the image, you do not have any sizes showing, which, following on from my recent experience makes me wonder if you have uploaded correctly, or do not have the full size version processed to the  correct folder

I'm uploading via FTP and then click to "Royal Free Images">"Process Uploads".

I have tried a lot of times, but the preview image with the watermark has the same dimensions (in MB and pix) of the original one.
I've also noticed that in the image page the "File Info" fields are blank.

Someone have a solution for that problem? Thanks!!!

What directory are you uploading to?

Is Symbiostock using GD library or ImageMagick (you can see this at the top of the Process Uploads page)?

I'm uploading to the directory wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/plupload/uploads/
...and I'm using GD library...

If you go to the Stock Images/Upload Images section of your WordPress admin area, is the directory you're uploading to the one that it tells you to?

Alessandro is using 2.5.5 so he is correct. That location changed with 2.5.6.
