  You can upload via FTP and then run the `Update Asset Indexes` tool from the Settings page in the control panel.
  
  If you want to continue uploading from the control panel make sure that you're using [Imagick](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php) instead of [GD](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php).
  
  Craft will use Imagick if it is available to PHP by default or you can force Craft to use one or the other via the [imageDriver](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#imageDriver) config setting.
