Hi, a client changed their mind on the max file size for graphic uploads - after he uploaded about 700 photos. We're using the available thumbnails already. Is there a way to change the max size of graphics/photos already uploaded (NOT the thumbnails, that's easy...just change the height and width and click 'recreate'...but can't do that for the main upload).?

Hi equinox,
If all the four optional thumbnails sizes are used, there isn't another way to adjust the main image file size after it has been uploaded.
One option may be to download all the main images via FTP, then batch process them in PhotoShop, IranView, or another image editing software to adjust the file size.
Then upload them back to the site. Make sure the filenames remain the same and you reset full permissions (CHMOD 777).
NOTE: test first with a couple of images to make sure this works before running the full 700.
Hopefully this will be a reasonably quick solution for adjusting the file size. Let me know.
