In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Can’t generate thumbnailsYay!
I have found a work around, it is a bit involved, but it does work.
Resize the images to below 150k. Doesn’t matter what they look like.
Create a gallery and add the images.
Now, using an ftp programe simply replace all of the images with larger sized and high quality ones. Just make sure they are named exactly the same.
They can be found in /wp-content/gallery/name of galleryWith a good ftp program and some clever workflow with photoshop and lightroom, this is not to hard to do and the resizing and renaming can be automated.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Can’t generate thumbnailsI really like NextGEN, very easy to use, however I have also been having this problem.
I tried the following:
Completely disabled and deleted the plug-in.
Reinstalled latest version.Still had the problem.
Reduced image from 330kb to 250kb.
Still had the problem.
Reduced image from 250kp to 80kb.
and it works perfectly!
It appears that it is a problem with my webhosts memory allocation, not sure if I can change that, or get it changed.
This is very annoying though, as an 80kb photo does not have the same impact as a 250kb photo and artifacting is really noticable.
Do love how NextGEN works though, so for the mean time I will stick with it, and it appears I can get away with images of around 150kb at the most.
