Piwigo generates all of the various size images automatically, square, thumbnail, small, etc., if that's what you are asking. I don't proactively do any resizing.

I've not been using Piwigo log enough to understand why that is significant. I thought GD and ImageMagick did roughly the same things, but ImageMagick does it better and more efficiently.

I did change the path, but that's where the documentation isn't clear.

If ImageMagick is compiled into php, and the imagick.so file is referenced & enabled in the php configuration, I assume that's NOT an external installation of ImageMagick, is that correct?

If the piwigo config is set to "$conf['graphics_library'] = 'auto';" it should try using php's ImageMagick before an external installation of ImageMagick and  GD, so a path wouldn't be necessary, correct?

I know that php can access ImageMagick:

"php -i | grep imagick" returns:

imagick
imagick module => enabled
imagick module version => 3.4.3
imagick classes => Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator, ImagickKernel
imagick.locale_fix => 0 => 0
imagick.progress_monitor => 0 => 0
imagick.skip_version_check => 0 => 0

So what am I missing?

Hi again,

So, we were both correct.

The admin page shows that ImageMagick is being used. I guess problem solved. I didn't know to look there.

I guess what threw me off was the fact that Piwigo throws an error if GD isn't present/disabled, even if ImageMagick is in use.

Thank you for your help.
