[Zope] Need help with ImageMagick or PIL with CMFPhoto for ph oto resize

Thu Aug 14 08:39:10 EDT 2003

Hmm, that I don't know.  I am cc'ing the list - maybe someone else does.

I have always used Photo 1.2.3, and CMFPhoto only just to 'have a look see'.
When I uploaded a bmp, Photo 1.2.3 would not resize it, perhaps the same is
true of CMFPhoto.  Photo would resize a jpg.  Seems like the thing to do is
install jpg support for imagemagick.  Perhaps bypass the Redhat version and
install imagemagick from source?

I found out that it's just the jpg support that is not
installed....so, I am able to do the convert with a
bmp file.  Now then, my next question/issue that you
might be able to help me is with Zope and Plone.

Since I can use the command line "convert -resize" a
bmp file, I would figure that I can go to my Plone
site and add a bmp file as a Photo object and then
view the different sizes.  However, I can only see the
Photo (or bmp) in its original size.  This tells me
that Plone/Zope/Python does not "know" to use
ImageMagick as the engine to use for resizing.  Is
there another tweak I must do to get my site to use
ImageMagick?
