If you have a suggestion, I wouldn't mind trying it. I suspect few
python imaging libraries would be pure python, though.

Sure, my only application of the imaging API is to reduce the size of
images that users upload, to display the small size on the web. It
wouldn't happen very often, either (resize once, display n times).

My only idea now is to maybe go through some other service that has an
API - a photosharing service, for example. It is getting unnecessarily
complicated, though.

The latter - it throws an error if the image you try to manipulate is
bigger than 1MB in memory.

[google-appengine] Limit on image size very low

2009-11-16 Thread Bjoern
Hi,

the imaging service limitation of 1MB for the maximum image size seems
very low. Most cameras create bigger images by now.

Any chance of increasing that limit? It would be nice if people could
upload images to my app without having to go through a photo editor
first. In fact avoiding the photo editor was one of the reasons I
started to program the app.

Unfortunately I saw the 1MB only in the midst of coding, as it is not
listed together with the other quotas.

Thanks!


Björn
