Here are the minimum requirements you need to have, in order to run Albinator smoothly: (Download Test Script)

Now supporting GD 1.6 which is standard with all PHP 4.x versions

Recommended GD 2+ for best performance &
imagemagick (only used for manipulating and can be excluded easily)

* php should not be in safe mode, ask your admin
(all above mentioned are freeware)

 

To resize photos, (i.e. making auto-thumbnails, resizing images more than the Maximum width, height limit set by you) can be done using 2 ways,

  • GD Library: It is available with PHP 4 distribution, currently due copyright issues, versions of GD older than gd-1.6 support gif format images, and do not support png, where versions greater than gd-1.6 support png, not gif. Minimum GD 1.6 or lower is required which is default with PHP 4.x versions. But the system requires GD library 2.0 + for best performance, which is freely available from www.boutell.com/gd/ which will support jpg & png.

    GD on Windows :: GD with GIF :: Install Troubleshooter for IIS :: GD 2 rpms

  • ImagicMagicK: ImageMagick is a famous image manipulation software, freely available from www.imagemagick.org, you need its perl version.

    ImageMagick rpms


The choice of Resize Engine can easily be changed at any time from the Administration Panel depending on your choice. To manipulate images you need Imagemagick as an neccessary part.
