Hi,
Maximo 7504
I am working on a strategy document for using Image functionality in Item Master application.
While investigating this functionality I came across the fact that those images are displayed only in 2 sizes:
- Thumbnail - 40x40 px
- in View window - 400x400 px
Maximo would store the image file as it is (big/small) and then show only in those 2 resolutions.
Question is
Should I tell users always to resize photos to 400x400 size?
It will:
- save space used by DB (images are stored in DB in IMGLIB table)
- improve speed of items and images display (because less to download)
What do you think?
Regards,
Alexey
For us, we just take pictures on iPhones and resize them down to 800px before we upload them to Maximo.
If you are referring to Select Action, Add/Modify Image, I have not run into the constraints you've mentioned.
For me, the thumbnail is 120px by 120px.
The image itself in the "View Image" is resized to 400 px by 400 px.
I think it depends on what you intend the images for.
If you are only viewing on the web, make sure the image dpi is set for 72.
If you are going to resize to 400x400, consider your strategy for images that do not reduce perfectly to 400x400. You have to decide how you are going to handle the white space in the horizontal or vertical. For example, if an image is 1000x800 to get it to 400, the image has to be resized 400x320. The extra 80 px white space has to be inserted if you want to display a proportional image.
Sunk, thanks for reply.
I am not saying that there are constrains. Only how the images (Add/Modify Image) will be displayed...
Very good point on adding space on to rectangle photos to make them square. We are using a Fast Stone tool that can do it in bulk.
