Another image_lib Library Issue (killing me)

[quote author="iisthesloth" date="1259377433"]I just now actually found out the issue was permissions with the image file itself. This brings me to a next possible issue which would be setting permissions upon uploading. Do I need to manually set this or was this a possible freak accident that the permissions on the file we're not writable?[/quote]
For uploading, you most likely need to set the directory permission to 777. Then files will be writable in that dir. This is also the case when using a graphics library to do manipulation...the dir needs to be writable for GD (or whatever) to save its processed image.
