The name kinda sucks. Does VIPS stand for something? I only mention this as it's possible more people would be talking about it if they understood what it was. A name like ImageScaler or something is much clearer. In any case, it sounds very neat. :-) And the VIPS dev team is using MediaWiki, which is cool. > For example, we currently disallow PNG images greater than 12.5 MP. Are you sure about this? I recall a configurable 12.5 MP limit on rendering of JPGs, but does that also apply to PNGs? And "disallow" is a bit ambiguous here. They just won't render / have thumbnails created, they aren't blocked from being uploaded, no? > Step 1: Deploy VipsScaler extension, but only use it for PNGs over > 12.5MP and/or TIFFs (which currently generate errors).
