Image Resizing Issue

[thetuningspoon]

I'm trying to set a max-width of 300px on the image field for images uploaded on the backend. However, when I try uploading a 900px wide image, I just get the image at the original width with greater pixelation.

It's not being resized in the browser with html or css, since when I download the image it's still 900px wide. What's going on?

Can you post your PW template and CSS code?

I'm using this gallery template file: http://processwire.c...__fromsearch__1

The CSS definitely isn't the problem, as I downloaded the image to check it out and it is, indeed, 900px wide (but looks like a 300px image blown up to 900px wide).

if you set the image to be max width 300px (it will scale bigger picture uploaded to 300px), then in the template there's (form that code)

$nextImage = $image->getNext();
$prevImage = $image->getPrev();
$sizedImage = $image->size(900);

So it will get upscaled to 900px.

Yup - you need to check in your template what size the image already is using $image->width() and $image->height() if you don't want things to be blown up by the $image->size() code in the template.

would be very nice to have a max-size(900)

Whoops, that should have been an easy one to spot. Thanks guys!
