My thumbnails are showing up in very low-definition?

[programguru]

Does anyone know why my thumbs are showing up in such low-def. I have tried every config that I though would relate to no avail.  Hope someone has an answer. Thank in advance.

well, it would help us if we could see these thumbs.  Your gallery is empty.

What version of GD are you using, or is it imagemagick?  And what is your config setting for quality of jpeg files?

Sorry about that. Here is a working link w/ images. Ive been deleting and reloading etc etc. Ive tried just about everything (I have read in the forums(or I could find). to no avail. Thanks in advance. J

My image quality is 80

GD Ver 1

Use GD2 instead.  Much better quality.  The image quality setting should be left alone.  All it does is add to the file size without doing much for improving the quality.  After all, thumbnails don't really have to be the highest quality since they are just a small representation of the original image.

That worked! Thanks for the info!

BTW when I select this option "GD Ver2" is it actaully configured in my php.ini? I would like to understand this more. Is it a set of files? Any info I would be interested to here. Thanks again Kego!

Ja

To use GD2 with PHP, it's just a matter of uncommenting the line in php.ini.  No files to upload or anything like that.
