Title: Bad quality on my thumbnail pictures
Post by: johnnyh86 on July 07, 2006, 11:52:31 AM
Anyone who knows why?

Look here > http://jooohnny.ath.cx/gallery/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=3

Maybe some options I have missed...  ::)

you're using html resize for the intermediate images. This'll necessarily lower quality
in your link... html resized to 455x342 while the pic only has 400x301

I think it's cause you changed the image size in config but didn't recreate the images (admin tools)

Hmm ok. I change back in admin tools?

if you once had set the intermediate image size to eg. 400x300 but later change that to 600x400 you have to recreate the intermediate images to reflect the changes. Otherwise they still have the orig width/ height and only the http changes.

copied from the config (where you chnage the intermediate image size)
(**) When changing this setting, only the files that are added from that point on are affected, so it is advisable that this setting must not be changed if there are already files in the gallery. You can, however, apply the changes to the existing files with the "admin tools (resize pictures)" utility from the admin menu.

Ok but I haven't changed the size. Exactly which option is that?

if you haven't changed the pic size then you probably have hardcoded the size into your theme
