We're these images previously published before you changed the template settings?
If so, republish the mages

Hi Rod,
No it was a new gallery that I published after changing the template.
Here is a test gallery http://tsiphotography.co.uk/galleries/portraits/test/

Jpg file size is not just a matter of pixel dimension. The quality setting makes a difference. Image content makes a difference.
A jpg with a lot a blank blue sky will result in a smaller file size than a jpg with the same pixel dimension but with a lot of different colors.

Hi Rod,
Yes i understand that, but exporting an image in LR @240dpi and max quality renders an image of approximately 6mb, using the max settings in Backlight, Width 2048px x Height 2048px quality 84% renders an image of only 612kb ish.

I can't get a jpg at 2048px with maximum quality to export from Lightroom anywhere near 6 MB. Mine are around 2 MB.
A 2048px tiff with no compression exports at about 8 MB.

Hi Rod,
I'm not trying to export it from LR @2048px and get 6mb I'm just trying to figure out how to enable high res downloads from the CRG without having to upload the files manually, as it appear that with max settings in the template the file sizes are very small and no good for the client to print etc..

Oh. So you want the images to publish at a higher resolution (pixel dimension) than what is currently allowed in the Backlight templates? Currently, the limit in the template Image Settings> Photos for Download: Create custom download rendition via Publisher is 9999px for width and height. You need it larger than that?

No I don't need a higher resolution than that but that looks like it's a 2 stage process, I.E you then have to export and upload the images manually as far as i can see.
When you try and download an image with this setting you get "A file not found error" and in the browser it is looking for the image at "download.php?file=photos-for-download/Adcroft-519.jpg"
Is there just not a way that publisher will upload a higher res image when publishing a gallery?

In the album template, under Image Settings => Photos for Download, set the Source option to "Create custom download rendition via Publisher".

Hi Ben,
Yes I've done that and republished the album but just get this error "The requested file was not found." also the path list in the browser is http://www.tsiphotography.co.uk/galleries/portraits/test/download.php?file=photos-for-download/Adcroft-516-Edit.jpg" looking at the directory structure on the server this folder "photos-for-download/" does not even exist?
Update,
Changing the settings in the template and then republishing a gallery does not work, creating a new gallery does, so may be a bug?
Just tried, deleting a gallery, creating a new one, but now get this error a short while after the upload process starts

your new issue may be a php upload limit. See: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 738#p44738
for your first issue, you may need to clear browser cache.
