You should use Pillow instead of PIL

If you don't want to have to handle manually resizing images, I would recommend letting something like sorl-thumbnail handle the re-sizing for you.  You will still need to have PIL or Pillow installed first, and make sure that png/jpeg support is available (This sometimes takes some tinkering.).

[frocco]

I tried sorl-thumbnail and user is complaining that some images are not resized to same size as others.

[frocco]

I also just realized that I am not using memcached

I will try this tonight and see if it helps.

[frocco]

Memcached did not help with the resize problem of one image. I am using sorl-thumbnail. The other images look fine and uniform.

[Kelly Nicholes]

For the problem with sorl-thumbnail not resizing to the same size as the others--  Are you cropping the image at all or just resizing?  If you crop, I don't understand how the images wouldn't be all the same size.  When I've used sorl, if the image is bigger than the dimensions to which I'm cropping/resizing, it's always spot-on.

I just made the mistake of clearing  their keystore and now no images display.Is there a way to rebuild the database?

I also have tried easy-thumbnails and see no images.

THUMBNAIL_ALIASES = {

    '': {

        'tires': {'size': (150, 150), 'crop': True},

        'brands': {'size': (164, 56), 'crop': True},

    },

}

<img src='{{ p.category.image_path|thumbnail_url:'brands' }}' alt="" />

 Like Kelly said, you'll have to make sure that all of the images are cropped the same way.

If you've used django's 'dumpdata' command to save the state of the database in a JSON file, you can use 'loaddata' to rebuild everything.  Otherwise, you need to re-enter the data the same way it was done initially.

What about the cache directory?

Should I clear this also?

Thanks for the help.
