So I've got a form... its a pretty large one, and at the end the client needs to upload 24 images. Some of these images are quite large (2-3 megabytes each).
I'm thinking I need to somehow shrink them down before they are uploaded. Any ideas on how I would go about doing this? Maybe I could use gdimage / timthumb somewhere... I'm not sure exactly where I should do this though. I'm guessing I'll have to use some custom code and hooks?
Any advice would be appreciated.
um. In a way I like this as it's a fairly easy question.
WP uploads the image and does 3 things to it:
create thumbnail
create medium size
create large size
default original size
What that means is that you have 4 choices for accessing and viewing images.
You can set sizes in your WP administration and you can make adjustments to file upload size limit in wordpress as well.

So the GD Form works through wordpresses upload. Does thatmean I just have to make sure that the php configuration, and wordpress configuration allow uploads at least as large as the images I'm uploading to avoid errors?
Yes, Gravity Forms uses built in WordPress upload functionality. So as far as file size limitations, etc. goes you need to make sure that your PHP settings allow for it.
