In checking out this release, I was a bit disappointed with the muted colors that gd2 output in my scaled images, so I switched to ImageMagick. In doing so, however, the original images (8 megapixels!) were not scaled to the specified maximum width of 600 pixels; rather, the originals were output and scaled by the browsers to a maximum width of 600 (i.e. it still downloaded the 3.4 MB file, but the browser did the scaling).

In short, gd2 output a 600×400 image but ImageMagick output the original, huge image and did not scale it for browsing purposes.

As an aside, for those interested in comparing the output of Photoshop to gd2, take a look:
GD2 : http://www.sensoryoutput.com/photostack-dev/thumb.php?gallery=./Yard&image=IMG_1186.jpg&width=600&height=600
Photoshop : http://www.sensoryoutput.com/photos/yard_2005_11/IMG_1186.jpg

The photoshop scaled image had an unsharp mask applied, thus removing the softening that usually accompanies such scaling operations.

BTW, what is the deal with the template.ini settings having “thumb” in front of options that really have nothing to do with thumbnails (i.e. the last set of options for images)?

my last post got ruined - i basically took the php str_split function out of line 54 and 32, and changed the input type to password.

I have replaced line 54 in manageusers.tpl.php and line 32 in editusers.tpl.php with:

Password

works fine now for me.
