Hi Gintautas,

I had similar problems with some images (from digital cameras), the imagemagick couldn't handle them so no image aliases were made.
The upload reported no error.

Try to 'flatten' the image before upload don't preserve the exif and watermark data.

Is that 'flattening' done with imagemagick? Sorry I am not into graphical editing thing so I've basically no idea what it actually means.

With 'flatten' (this is my description of the process) I meant to loose any data that is not needed. Pictures taken with camera have data about photo parameters and etc.

Use some image editor, open the image, and than save it without these extra data.
It depends if the image editor has such options, but you can also save it in more simple format like .png

Hi again.

Here's some debugging info:

Warning: eZImageShellHandler::convert Aug 03 2008 14:27:15

Failed executing: /usr/local/bin/convert '-quality' '75' '-geometry' '200x290>' 'var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/products/cyenc/autogenie/335-1-eng-GB/AUTOGENIE.jpg' 'JPEG:var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/products/cyenc/autogenie/335-1-eng-GB/AUTOGENIE_medium.jpg', Error code: 1

Error: eZImageManager::createImageAlias Aug 03 2008 14:27:15

Failed converting var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/products/cyenc/autogenie/335-1-eng-GB/AUTOGENIE.jpg to alias 'original' in directory 'var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/products/cyenc/autogenie/335-1-eng-GB'

Now the question is how to solve this ;) I checked the access restrictions of those paths, and they are very liberal... maybe too liberal, 0777. As a side note, why would I need to allow everyone write to storage? I didn't set it that way manually, just followed installation instructions.

Anyway I remember that Imagemagick installation didn't go perfectly smooth. But in the end I am able to access its binaries, in this case 'convert'.

Any suggestions are welcome! Because as of now the only way to put images on my site is by bypassing Imagemagick by setting backgrounds for divs in CSS files...

Did you try to disable imagemagick and use GD?
