Thankyou, your input is always most welcome and i appreceate your opinion
I have as suggested used sites like you have mentioned before, for me i would use pc based Photoshop, snagit or similar.
Yes of course i can put forward this to clients.
I am not using the multi cart system, i decided to use multiple installs. thus users will have full access to each admin area (functions limited by their group).
Again here i am still learning the way things work, but i am working off a dedicated server with medium specs, and i cant get my head around why having the posibility of several large sized photos using up lots of bandwidth isnt an issue on the products page, when an alternative would be to simply have the option to upload, then resize the image before its saved to the server..
Trust users to resize images themselves, they dont and this causes repeated long loading times on each page view, if they want to wait an extra 5 minutes each image waiting to upload so be it
Or
Do a one off resize to preset dimensions after upload and never have issues?
i read lots today about jquery and settings, looked at the files but couldnt get to grips with what did what and when
i read one article suggesting it was possible to use the upload system and have the image resized client side?
then theres also the way in which images zoom and how much, they zoom in diferently depending on the dimensions of the original image uploaded.
Thinking about it, I know of two clients that will (Even if advised) will still upload large files when their supplier sends them to their dropbox...
If it is possible to use the already in place script but edit some settings like..
resize: true,
maxWidth: 800,
maxHeight: 800,
can some one in support take a look, its just not my area of knowhow ... but i learn every day
many thanks
Carl
