Place this in wp-config.php:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
Or this in .htaccess:
php_value memory_limit 64M
Have you thought about reducing the size of your images?
I’ve got a plugin I’ve created that reduces image sizes before they are uploaded to the WordPress media uploader. It’s not available to public but if you would like to beta test it for me then that would be great.
Using the pluging means whoever is uploading the images to your site doesn’t need to have software or knowledge to resize images and the images uploaded to your site upload much quicker as the files are much smaller and once uploaded to your site they are smaller and load much quicker for your visitors.
Drop me a line if you want a copy of the plugin.

I put that line in wp-config, still says limit is 8mb.
And when I have that line in .htaccess, I get an internal server error.
It just doesn’t want to change…
Could it be that your Webhost has a limit to your filesize?
Nope, I asked my webhost, and they say it is controllable via php.ini, which I’ve done.
