php.ini is a file that lives in the root directory of your web site (i.e. on the server)
Not sure who your host is, but for Bluehost, you can go to the cPanel and make this change there. Here’s their help page:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/imagemagick
And if you select PhP Config from the Software/Services panel, you can check a box for Image Magick that will make the necessary edits for you

Thank you for trying to help me through this. I finally just submitted a ticket to BlueHost. Maybe they can just go in and fix it for me. I did check the help guides you linked to and the BlueHost forums, but they are all “speaking Greek” to me. I’m not sure when I went from competent on the computer to totally clueless, but it happened haha. Thanks again for trying to help the clueless.

I can’t see your website for comparison, but as I’m assuming you downsize from the original to output to JPEG for your website, perhaps you’re applying sharpening to that web-sized image?
I’m not sure, but I don’t think the processor that makes the thumbnails and previews for Symbiostock, applies any sharpening.
Truthfully that image doesn’t look low quality or soft. But at that size you can’t really tell image sharpness anyway. Can you provide a link to a similar sized preview of that same cat image?
Does this image look soft to you?

As it’s a closeup, I’d expect to see sharper details, and I think this looks OK – in other words I wouldn’t have any question about the sharpness of the image based on this preview.
(Although this does highlight again why a zoom feature would be such a big asset for buyers…)
I normally don’t apply sharpening when I export from LR (CR2 to JPEG).
The only other place this image has been uploaded is the animal shelter’s website, but they downsize to ~10kb, and that really diminishes quality, so that’s not going to help for comparison. I did email the photo to a friend to take a look. She could see a difference too. The fur loses detail when viewed on the website.
The brown tabby photo looks like it lost detail in the fur to me as well.
I promise these are in focus when viewed 1:1 🙂

When you go into Stock Images – Process Uploads look near the top of the page, does it say something like Image Magick (preferred) or GD ?
If GD you will do better with Image Magick, this can often be done by add this line
extension=imagick.so
to your php.ini
which can be found in
public.html
It says GD Library.
I’m really clueless on this….I’m not sure where to find the place to enter that line? You’re really going to have to dumb this down lol.
The more I work on my website, the slower the pages on WordPress load for me. After awhile I have to give up for the day because each update can take over 30 seconds to complete.
Just new today, my site was running very slowly this morning, and now it starts to load but never finishes. I only uploaded one photo today. When I log out of WordPress and check my site when logged out, everything loads just fine. I’m guessing a WordPress issue?
I also have this problem. I can set the rank, but it does not work. The photos list newest first regardless of the rank I assign. I really liked having the ranking system, when it worked.
Thank you, DonLand.
That makes sense. Thank you for answering my question; it is much appreciated 🙂
I am looking for network partners as well. ParkerStockPhotos.com I’m just starting out with about 50 photos up. Mostly nature, farm/garden, pets, etc. Please contact me if interested.
