SOLVED: I'm an idiot and didn't notice that GD was the primary graphics prog. Moved it down and let imagemagick do the work and it works fine.
I have a server install of Gallery2 at IX Webhosting and after finally getting support to install it correctly I can now upload images but they won't display unless they are 640x480 or smaller. Am I brain farting on a setting or could this be a problem with their install.
