Hi All,

Is it possible to reduce the image compression level so that the images uploaded are less blurry ? I understand this will increase website load time but at least the images will be clearer.

Edit /system/library/image.php and change:

Code: Select all

public function save($file, $quality = 90) {
to:

Code: Select all

public function save($file, $quality = 100) {

Hi rph,

Thanks for your quick tip - it has improved the image quality by a small amount but I really need to reduce the compression level further to be honest. Just wondering if there's a way .....

100 is the best possible quality. Did you clear out your image cache? The images won't regenerate otherwise.

Hi rph,

Yes i made sure the image cache was cleared. I think the original images need to be better though, so i'll need to work on this a bit more. Thanks for the tips!

For best results make it as big as your Product Image Popup Size. It's 500 x 500 on a default setup, I believe.
