Try checking the documentation that comes with it, but if you did so already and is positive you did it all correctly, maybe you should wait for a more stable release of the module

There be not anywhere proper documentation of "ImagePicker".

I hope you will give me a suitable suggession.

Your problem lies in the way you have permissions set up in the 'files' folder, imagepicker cannot upload because it does not have sufficient permissions. This is a general problem with your setup, nothing to do with Imagepicker. The docs may be sparse but they are sufficient.

That might not be the poster's problem at all.

I got this when I moved from one server to another. I thought everything was set up correctly but when I ran into this error discovered (after checking that the file permissions were set correctly) that ImageMagick had not been installed on the new server. If I'd been trying to set up Image Picker I would have had to choose GD but because I'd already chosen ImageMagick and it was missing, Image Picker wanted to use it but couldn't.

So: in addition to file permissions, check whether your chosen image library is actually installed, especially if you have just moved your installation to a new environment.

For most image manipulations Imagepicker uses the image module's image_load, image_save, image_resize and image_get_info functions. For Watermarks it uses The GD functions imagecopy, imagecopyresampled, imagedestroy and some image type specific functions, all from GD. Imagepicker itself does not use any ImageMagick functions, although it is possible that the image module does if they are available.
When developing the image manipulation code for Imagepicker, I consulted a couple of professional graphics designers who were of the opinion that GD was good enough for general purposes and that users who *really* cared about quality would manipulate their images beforehand using Photoshop or Gimp.
