Creating different image sizes after upload?

[user_c2640]

This is a general question:

Does Chevereto not create multiple sizes/versions of each image after it's uploaded (similar to Flickr, WordPress, Piwigo, etc.)?

In other words, if I upload an image at full resolution, say 5472x3648, why does the application display this image full size in the browser? This is not an optimal image size to be loading in a web browser.

As a very new pro user, this is very disappointing and seems like basic/essential functionality missing for a photo app.

I would love to have it so that when an image is uploaded, the following happens:

• Original image is saved and only accessed via the "download original" button
• Large image is created (something around 1600x1148)
• Medium image is created (something around 1024x758)
• Small image is created (something around 640x480)
• Thumbnails created

Then, also, in the admin area, it would be nice to be able to specify the sizes to whatever you want.

Another reason for this is that I don't necessarily want guests to be able to download original photos. I should be able to set guests to view only 1024x768, or something like that.

Thanks!

Hello,

It only creates medium and thumb sizes.

It was made that way, and you didn't configure the max image load size.

Feel free to open a RFC to purpose the change.

My intention is to add support for media servers for dynamic transformations (resize, effects, etc) but sadly I haven't been able to follow up that development. The idea is to get a system talking with external storage, caching and request signing for covering pretty much all the media related needs.

It only creates medium and thumb sizes.

What are medium images used for? Is this what loads on mobile?

didn't configure the max image load size

Is this somewhere in the admin that I missed, or a setting in a PHP file?

If I set a max image size, will it simply reject larger photos, or actually resize them?

Overall, amazing job with this app! It is the closest thing I've found to a perfect photo/video app and I've tried just about all of them! Thanks!

Ok, thanks. The simple version would be to just have one more field for "large" size specification, like you have for medium. Then one more option that just says show large or show original for guests.

Medium image size is used as "display" and it means that it is used on listings, preview, etc. Thumbs are only used by embed codes.

Is a theme config which enables to configure how it will handle big file loading. https://v4-admin.chevereto.com/settings/theme.html#image-load-max-filesize-mb

The previous setting alters loading, to alter uploads to auto resize if too big check this: https://v4-admin.chevereto.com/settings/file-uploads.html#maximum-image-size

That's also a valid concern, a large size aka poster is often required. We are always adding new sizes, as a matter of fact when we introduced video we also got a new size that nobody talks about: "frame", which is a frame/capture of the video "as-is" at 25% time.
