Bug Image Quality

[IcEWoLF]

Yes, it does work.
I noticed when uploading the images, we are losing the image quality, it seems to be a bit worse.

Hmm, can you attach an image here or send it to dylan@dragonbyte-tech.com ?
I don't reduce the quality for size issues or anything like that, so it should be same quality, just smaller in height/width.

Here is an image:



Then see it on the test forums:
http://www.47r-squad.net/dbtgallery.php?do=view_image&id=7&gal=gallery

If you flip between the two pictures you can certainly see the difference, especially the cloud, looks a lot more grainy.

Also on the preview page after uploading an image it looks a bit weird too
See this screenshot:

BTW, sorry if I am posting this all in this thread, should I make a separate thread for tracking purposes?

 

[Dylan]

yeah, lets make a new thread for it. I don't see a difference in the image though? Unless vB resizes it and it loses quality here as well?
The after upload image does look weird. I'll check but I think the problem is I'm displaying the thumb, which is prob 150x150 and upsizing it. I'll fix that.

I disabled vB resize image but the PQ is not improving unfortunately.

Can you email the original to me so I can test the diff between original and what's in the gallery? If you just add it here I think vB will resize it and I wont have the original to look at anymore heh

I sent couple samples via email

I think I found it.
Open dbtech/gallery/includes/class_core.php

At about line 1327 find

imagejpeg($image);

replace with

imagejpeg($image, NULL, 100);

 

[IcEWoLF]

That did it Dylan!
It is fixed now!

 

[Dylan]

Cool, have it fixed in the code for the next version
