Title: How i can do to modify a photo?
Post by: mellifj on September 02, 2004, 11:27:07 am

I would like to know how I can do to modify a photo that I have putting in the album. I would like to upload it again with fewer size and smaller. Thank you.

If you want to resize an image, download it from your site (by viewing full-size and right-click, then "Save As"), resize it with a photo application, and upload it again.   Delete the original or you will have 2 copies of the same picture.

Does it concern some value of the database?.For example, the size of the new photo it updates the database. Thank you.

Simply do this:

• View the fullsize image that you want to resize.
• Save it to your computer.
• Resize it using your favorite image application.  If you have Windows XP, search google for PowerToys and install the image resize tool.  You will then be able to resize any image to any size you want.
• Go to the album the original picture is in.  As an admin, delete it from the album.
• Upload the resized picture and add it to the album you want.

if you need to keep the comments and views, go for option one (mstralka's posting), but you will have to edit the db entry (using a tool like phpMyAdmin) and set the new width and height. If you don't need to keep the comments, go for option2 (kegobeer's solution), which is recommended if you're not familiar with phpMyAdmin.
