Is there a way to get at the original photos for a user via admin?

I notice that they are all stored on the server with names like "pr_photo_backup_45_106_45.jpg", so I can eventually get at them via FTP, but I want to be able to get at them via the admin function.

This is for a few reasons:
  • it would be a whole lot easier to do it via admin!
  • if I want to give the admin tasks to someone, I want to just give them an admin userid and not complete FTP access to the site!!

There are many times when I need access to the original, particularly since I use watermarks:
  • the user puts a photo in 90 degrees on its side - I want to correct this, but I need the original, since the version in admin already has the watermark
  • there is something behind the watermark which I want to see (see attachment for example)

So, SkaDate, is this possible currently?  (I think not).  If not, can you add this?  Please. Smiley

OUTSTANDING Question!   I can get to these images since I'm self hosted but it's a pain in the ass!

What type of access do you need? Do you need to download or just to preview?

It doesn't really matter - with "Preview" an admin user could just do a right-click copy of the picture to download.  What is vital, and what is currently not possible, is that an admin user can get at the source photo, do changes to it if necessary, and then upload it back again.

Is the link "View original photo" opposite watermaked photo will solve the problem?

By the way, nice attachment brusselsshrek   Grin

Yes, if you could add a link like that, it would be perfect. Grin
