How can I stop the Gallery upload from resizing images on me? I have only a few users that are allowed to upload and they're very picky about their photographs. They spend a lot of time compressing and manipulating them in external image editors to get it down to a reasonable size with the least quality loss. Then when they upload to the gallery, the images are resized anyway causing some distortion from the original image that was uploaded. All graphics tools are set to 95% because I read somewhere that you never want to set that to 100%. There a no entries in the Resized Images section of the album edit. I assumed that meant it would just take whatever was uploaded, but it apparently doesn't. Is there a config setting I'm missing? Basically, I just want the photo to upload from the hard drive to the web server with no action taken on it at all.

Possible?

Thanks a lot.

either you have the size limit module activated or you have 1 or more album resize dimensions defined in edit album.
hint: this is a setting that you can set for each album independently, so check each album -> edit album.

Thanks for the reply. I have neither of those options. The 'Size Limit' module is still - and always has been - uninstalled. I checked every gallery and none of them have resize dimensions set. I even deleted them all and started over from nothing with the same result. The images are only resized by a few KB, but the uploaded image is clearly distorted when compared side-by-side with the original.

what upload methods have you tried?
are you watermarking the photos?

No waterwarking. I've tried XP, Upload Applet, and as a last result from local server. I ftp'd the images to a directory on my server and used that method and it still resized them. I'm at a loss.
