I have a new host that will not allow the install of ImageMagik nor any other image processing app, but is willing to host Gallery 2.

Is ImageMagik (or like program) the necessary program that will resize images as they are uploaded? Most of the users of the gallery will be casual users who will unknowingly try to upload photos directly from digital cameras at 1MB or larger file size.

Or am I OK to run Gallery 2 and Gallery itself will be sufficient to have the "resizing" of images to admin specs that I set?

Thanks

g2 runs without imagemagick, netpbm, gd, ...
if you don't have installed ONE of them, you don't get any auto-generated thumbnails and resizes in G2.

as alternative to imagemagick, you can still use GD or netpbm.
