I'm using 5.7 with the latest stable releases of Imagecache and Image_Profile along with Image Upload. I have set up profile default and profile large settings for Imagecache. I have then set up minimums and so forth under user profiles. The picutres are uploaded just fine, jpg's re-size perfectly. But when animated .gif avatars are uploaded, upon conversion the animations turn purple. You actually see an outline of the animation as if you were watching a cartoon that has been drawn on seperate pages and you are flipping through the pages.

Any suggesstions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Ken

Which image toolkit are you using? Imagemagick is much better for resizing things, plus you get the option of setting the quality for certain mimetypes. If you haven't done it already try copying the image.imagemagick.inc file across from your /modules/image folder into your includes/ folder, it'll then be selectable under admin/settings/image-toolkit

I am using the Imagemagick toolkit. I had already found that tidbit out in the forums. The problem is occurring whether I use it or GD2.

Hmmm well the issue you're describing is that on resizing gifs the masks aren't being resized to fit them properly... I'm afraid I'm really not 100% sure on what you can do about it...

Sorry...

This sems to be an iisue with the animated gif ( i use 6.2 drupal, and the updated drupal image module) when i use the image module to resize gifs it kills the animation, but if use photoshop to create the re-sizes it works fine so i have created an issue with the image module at #270496: image import - thumbnail creation
