Hello, I´m a newbie here, and I have a feature suggestion.
(I have searched without finding answers)
I´m a photographer - and would love to see support for PSD and TIF files.
That would mean that you could use Gallery to "file" high resolution images while making a webgallery at the same time.
I´ve edited Gallery to allow psd files (as described in <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&action=viewtopic&topic=4634&19918" TARGET="_blank">This</A><!-- BBCode End --> thread)
But it still says "Error: Invalid image:" - when I try to upload.
I know that imagemagick supports image conversion (from Tif to Jpeg for exampel) - then it would probably be possible to upload a high resolution Tif image - and gallery could convert it to jpeg, resize it and make thumbnails etc.
That would be great! :smile:
(even if I know that the one problem would be the filesize of the PSD and TIF images)

Hi
ImageMagick and Netpbm can both handle tiff files, but neither of them mention psd in the documentation I searched. Since psd is PhotoShop's default file extension, and isn't actually intended to be viewed on a web browser it might be difficult to have an online program like Gallery set to handle files with the .psd extension.
You can still use the tif (tiff) extension, but I hate to think how much webspace you'd take up after awhile. As well, the wait time for viewing the image online would be slow even with adsl. I burn all my original digital images to CD - are you thinking of storing the raw images so they can be printed through a photo service like Shutterfly or is there another reason?
...just call me curious...

70% right. ImageMagick can handle PS files [ http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/www/formats.html ] but it's very slow. I'm working on something where the thumb and resized images are jpgs, but as most (all?) browsers cannot display PSD files, eventually you'd have to download a file. I haven't decided if it's useful or not.
My users want it so they can share Photoshop techniques. I think it is just too clumsly to be useful.

I've decided to abandon my PSD support attempt. But if you use the patch below, it should allow you to upload PSD, and get JPG thumbnails.<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>

Thanks for the info, Joan.
However, with regards to this:
I agree with you. Since what is useful about the psd files are the layers and you cannot see the actual layers on a web browser, it makes more sense to offer a jpg or gif version to illustrate the point and offer the psd image as a downloadable file.
Makes more sense for that purpose at least.

The above code is a patch file. On Unix/Linux, save it as psd.patch and then
patch -p0 <psd.patch
However, it's just a hint of how to start - you'll need to do more work. I've abandoned it.
If you want to discuss this further, we should do it in the customization forum.

Im having problem with the patch file
It took me some time to test it since I made a fresh install of Mandrake 9.1 yesterday :wink:
When I apply the patch it says:
"patch unexpectadly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input."
What could be the problem? - (even if I know that the patch needs more work)
But - maybe we should move this discussion to the customization forum - like you say joan?

I'm not supporting this.
But you have to remove all the blank lines that were inserted when it was uploaded.

Well, I finally got the patch file working :smile: (with some manual editing)
Thanks joan! - its nice to see that my idea probably is possible.
The PSD to jpeg-thumbnail works great but the resized and full size image only works from time to time :smile: - I do not know if that is because I did something wrong or because it needs to be worked on.
If I am succesful in adding some more features, like a download option of the org PSD file etc - I will start a topic in the customization forum :smile:
I wonder if I should suggest this as a feature for v2 ?

Pulver, I also have the same problem that you have. I have a large database of images stored in many different kinds of formats. I want Gallery to display a .gif of them then when they are clicked on to have a link to the original format. Could you let me know the process you took to get this to work.
Thanks
