Good morning together,
i´m really starting to get crazy beacause of the probleme named in the topic. My image module doesn´t show the presets i´ve set in imagecache. there are only the 3 default presets from the image module.

my drupal version: 6.13
my image version: 6.x-1.0-beta3
my imagecache version: 6.x-2.0-beta10
my Imagecache Actions version: 6.x-1.6
my imageField version: 6.x-3.1
my ImageAPI version: 6.x-1.6

I hope those pictures show what i mean:

Picture 3: http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/420/imagemodule1.jpg

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.... Thank you very much in advance

Image module is not compatible with ImageField / cache:

Image.module - Imagefield is not compatible with image.module content types. If you add an imagefield CCK field to the image type provided by image module, image module will delete all the imagefield images on every node update.

Choose either the image module or the CCK/FileField/ImageField/ImageCache etc.

As far as I remember, it has always existed. Maybe you are confusing ImageCache with the presets for the image sizes in the image module?
I can't see why somebody would want to use both modules.

As you can see in this drupal 5.16 installation i can choose imagecache presets in my image module. i need imagecahe because i want to add watermarks to the uploaded pictures and the image module alone can´t handle this.

by the way in this installation i use following versions of the modules:
-Image 5.x-1.9
-Image API 5.x-1.4
-Imagecache 5.x-2.3

You need the imagecache 4 image support module
#231622: Use imagecache as a process for normal image.module presets
It was distributed with D5 for a short while (That's the version the screenshot shows), but got lost in CVS when the upgrade happened. I really don't know why.

You can get Current code here but it may require a patch to image.module.

OK I now see what nepumuk90 was meaning. But it seems to be tricky, and I would consider switching to ImageField, since it will be in D7 core.
There is a migration script that is working:
http://drupal.org/node/432860

The only potential problem is how to recreate the galleries if you already have those of the image module. But there are some options since the image galleries rely on taxonomy, and this info is not lost when the migration is done. From http://drupal.org/node/201983 :

Image Gallery simply adds taxonomy terms to image nodes uploaded with the Image module and then displays image files on various layouts. When you run the migration script above then the taxonomy terms assigned when each node was created are still the same.

Then you would build a few views with the Views module to recreate the sorting and filtering of your old galleries using the same taxonomy. Views actually gives you more flexibility in your new "galleries" for how you sort, filter, arrange, hide, etc, your images.

okay thank you for that! I deleted the image module and im now focussing on the imagefield module. can you tell me how to set up galleries with imagefield and views? thank you soo much!

Well I am now using the Views Gallery module.
On setup it will do all the work with the modules, and later you can still bring it to your own needs, since it is essentially relying on views and cck content types.
