Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi, I recently installed ImageMagick on a VPS in order to handle large files. Initially everything ran smoothly and the system would create thumbnails from a 150mb image in a few seconds. Now, however, it's not even able to handle a 50mb image and that's even after having doubled the available RAM from 256MB to 512MB.

Make sure you have a recent version of ImageMagick, the current release is 6.6.5-0. Add -define jpeg:size=128x128 to your command line. Substitute your thumbnail size for 128x128. Post your command here so we can look for optimizations. Reduce memory requirements with the Q8 version of ImageMagick (8-bits per pixel) rather than the default Q16 version.

Hi and thank you for the swift reply.

Can you tell me where I can find the Q8 binaries?

EDIT: Please disregard this post. I compiled instead.
