Hello,

Using eZwebin, I have problems with the quality of images, especially the ones uploaded with "Image" attribute. Very bad quality, seems to be extremely compressed.

In the template, image is set with

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.image}

In the image.ini.append.php file, settings are :

[MIMETypeSettings]
Quality[]
Quality[]=image/jpeg;100

What can I do to have good quality images ?

I am sure you checked, but since you are not specifying the image variant, it might be that you are producing small-resolution images upscaled (badly) by the browser?

Thanks Gaetano. I didn't know, then you gave a direction to look at. I put

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.image image_class=articleimage}

in the template to have load a different image variation. Indeed, myimage_articleimage.jpg is loaded, but quality is still bad. Original image size is 24 ko and myimage_articleimage.jpg is 5 ko... Quite an awful compression.

Hello Catherine,

Did you make sure that the 'articleimage' transformation (defined in image.ini) is not applying quality-degrading filters ? And what image processing backend are you using ? ImageMagick or GD ?

You may want to give us the details of the 'articleimage' filter btw.

Let us know,

Hi Nicolas,

I guess it's GD, because in phpinfo(), I see that GD is enabled, and in settings/override/image.ini.append.php, there is

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=false

But, in extensions/myextension/settings/image.ini.append.php, there's

[ImageMagick]
Filters[]=centerimg=-gravity center -crop %1x%2+%3+%4

So I don't understand very well.

And for "articleimage", details are

[articleimage]
Reference=
Filters[]
Filters[]=geometry/scaledownonly=170;350

Is that details you asked for ? I really don't know where to look at...

Thanks
