Increasing the file size limit for images that can be imported

I believe the file size limit is set to 2 Mb for images you are allowed to import into the gallery. Most of the photos I would like to showcase in the gallery are a lot larger.

What do I need to change to increase the limit?

Thank you

the limit for the size of files that can be uploaded is set in the php.ini file, you would need to modify the php server settings to increase the allowed file size.

See the following for information on the php server settings that control the maximum allowed file size:
wap_upload.asp?page=php2

Not sure about its effectiveness in power gallery, but it may be possible to override the php.ini settings by adding the following to your upload page, eg 64M

<?php ini_set("memory_limit","64M"); ?>
