Piotr Switkowski	Tuesday 25 November 2003 12:37:48 pm Could anyone please explain what image variations are? I need to display one picture in different sizes, so I assume that image variations are for this. However I can not see where to upload different variations - this could be somehow related to the problem that 3.2.3 do not upload images at all - but maybe not. Regards and thanks
Marco Zinn	Wednesday 26 November 2003 3:25:16 pm Image variations are variations of one original image. Here, this means, that you upload one image ("original") and ezPublish creates variations, which usually are smaller than the original image by using ImageMagick or GD scaling routines. The variations are saved to the server harddisc, but you don't have to upload them. Just upload your original image. You say, you cannot upload images at all.... Can you upload (and download) files (non-images)? Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
Piotr Switkowski	Thursday 27 November 2003 10:59:02 am Thanks for info. Yes, other files are uploaded. Also I just noticed, that images are uploaded, but variations are not generated. I have only gd2 and do not have ImageMagick installed - is this the reason ?
