Magento

I’m also using 1.3.2.4 and the quality is not good at all. Tried all the methods, but not luck.
I have older sites that are using this modification and the images look great.
Can anyone tell me if they are using the latest version and what they did to fix this problem? For us images are an important selling part of our process. Thanks in advance.

I was able to use one of the php modifications provided in one of the post.  Make sure you also use the correct image size I think its something 1100 x 1100.  I made a template and pasted images in.  Because if you use different size magento will upsacle or downscale images, and the will look horrible.

adrianlew, seems like a pain in the a$$ to re-upload all our images and re-size them. There has to be a way to stop this from happening on the code level.
Do you have a sample of what you did so I can take a look at it?

yes its strange that this complex system, does this.  I don’t have it, I just copied and past from one of the posts. there is a post that has 40 post I used that one

This worked for me.

I just wanted to confirm that this code works on 1324. Thank you

MAGENTO Team please make option to turn Image quality optimization.
People who working on magento website design mostly do and product listing so Images are already 100% optimized.

magento actually does multiple things to images:

-it alters images when uploading them with the back-end uploader
-it resizes images in the store to the dimensions specified by the theme
-it also “fills” white background with transparency (that’s for gif / png) effectively cutting out the image content along the edges

The last one (cutting out, i don’t mean cropping) being my issue here - i find it a bit difficult spotting the right section in the gd2.php.
There are code-functions dealing with maintaining existing transparency and then are those which actually do the image-processing.

Can anyone tell which is which?

Hello there, new Magento user here.

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to use html links for the base and small images. Eg. instead of uploading images, I just tell Magento the url address of the images. That way there would be no recompression or resizing done and also allow me to edit the images in the future without having to reupload them.

I like how I can use HTML in the item description text field and display images there at any size I like.

I think it has to do with scaling the images.  After upload the image and view the image in full size its scaled to:

example original file 399px × 600px (scaled to 600px × 902px)


if I open the image link in browser only it will show in great quality.  Why would magneto scale the image up?  Of course it will loose the quality then.

can this be turned off?
