to upload with GD2 any other image apart from jpeg and PNG?
thanks
GD2 supports GIF (version 2.0.28+), JPEG, and PNG.
When using the GD image library allowed image types are only JPEG and PNG. is what I get when uploading a gif or any other format
That's exactly what I said. Do you have a question?
How can I get ImageMagick to work instead of GD?
You need to determine and specify the correct path to imagemagick in config or switch to GD2 if available.
was what i was advised when having problems with Image Magick how do I determine and specify correct path?
You need to ask your host for the path.
However, it makes little sense to allow other image files on the internet - bmp, tif, psd etc. were never made for the internet: the files are much too large. Why don't you convert the images into the supported formats before you upload them?
