It feels like I have tried everything possible to get this to work properly. I have searched these forums forever to try and find an answer but nothing seems to work.

The problem I have is that the image.module refuses to resize the original image. I want it to resize the original to a size wich fits the page. Nowhere can i find settings for this?

How do i get image.module to resize the original picture to a size of my specification?

Please help

...I don't think this can be achieved by image.module.

The original size will always remain 'original'. You can re-scale the size of the image being displayed at your will in /admin/settings/image, but the original size won't change.

Oddly enough, you don't even have settings to limit the image size that can be uploaded via image.module. You can limit the size in KB if you upload via upload.module, though.

Oh. Well thats to bad then :-(

the thing im trying to solve is that usually the pictures people upload are to big to be used in the layout for say a story. The preview images are ok though.

but when im trying to use img-assistant to input pictures into an article the only options are "original" and "thumbnail"

Is there any other way to get around this? Mabey editing the image-module? The original pictures are never used and just takes up space on the server. What i would like is for them to be automaticly resized if they are too big.

you can create new view formats in /admin/settings/image, besides the two defaults ones (thumbnail and preview).

I'm having problems with this as well! I've added a new view format just as you described. However, the new format doesn't appear under 'image to use' in the img_assist popup when I want to include a newly added picture. Is it supposed to do that?
