Hi

This might be an obvious question but apologies, I'm a bit of a newbie to this.

I've written a site for a photographer friend of mine with an admin section. In this admin section he can create new albums, then upload photo's to each album. The script I have written saves off the image, then resizes it for web and saves then resizes and saves off a thumbnail image.

Basically the problem is that the typical size of image he is uploading from his digital camera is 2.5mb which is understandably taking forever to process. So my question is, is there any software or tricks I can use to streamline the process? And would an upgrade to my hosting package help in which case what should I be asking for. Additionally what is the norm for creating sites like this - I can upload similar sizzed images to facebook without any problem??

thanks

JG

    I don't know if its performance is any better or not, but - assuming you're using the PHP [man]Image[/man] funcitons - you might consider trying the [man]Imagick[/man] PECL extension if available (or if you have permissions on the host to install it).
