Overview

+

An image library is required by Tidypics to perform various manipulations: resizing on upload, watermarking, rotation, and cropping. There are three image library options with Tidypics: PHP extension GD, ImageMagick called via a system call, and the PHP extension imagick. GD is the most common of the three on hosted servers but suffers from serious memory usage problems when resizing photos. If you have access to ImageMagick (whether through system calls or the PHP extension), we recommend that you use that. -

Testing ImageMagick Commandline

+

To use the ImageMagick executables, PHP must be configured to allow calls to exec(). You can check our server analysis page to find out the configuration of your server. Next, you need to determine the path to ImageMagick on your server. Your hosting service should be able to provide this to you. You can test if the location is correct below. If successful, it should display the version of ImageMagick installed on your server.
