If you get an error that looks like
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 64554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 14016 bytes) in /home/public_html/administrator/components/com_igallery/includes/resize.php on line 45
It is probably because the image being uploaded is a large filesize, and the server has difficultly resizing it. As images get bigger, servers need more RAM (memory) to resize them. Most servers have a memory limit where they will throw an error like this. Servers with a higher amount of memory can usually resize up to 4MB images, and servers with a small amount of available ram will run out of memory resizing 1MB images.
If this happens you are best to ask your server company to increase your RAM, or to use the resize before upload feature in the gallery. The swfupload/plupload uploader in version 2.6/2.7/3.x can resize images before they are uploaded. Go into the component paramaters upload tab, choose the swfupload/plupload uploader, yes for resize images before uploading, and set a max width and max height. It is recommended you set a width/height of about 2500/2000.
