Avoid image compression with GD2

doctorlogos Total Posts: 178 Joined: 2008-05-06 Ignore user	I only know that I prepare my images optimization with photoshop and fireworks. We know that it´s a very good feature for beginners, who don´t know how to compress-resize images for the web. But, not usefull for me and the most of us, I´m sure.

Also, what works in 1.2.1, in terms of disabling compression? Signature ExtraCall.com - UK Telecommunications & VOIP \| SurveySam - Worldwide market research & surveys

Scree’s code doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the front-end. This, as posted by TheTwistedOne as adapted from 00christian00 does. File: lib/Varien/Image/Adapter/Gd2.php Line: 80 Comment out line 80: `//call_user_func($this->_getCallback('output'), $this->_imageHandler, $fileName);` Right below it, next line, add: `if ($this->_fileType === IMAGETYPE_JPEG) { call_user_func($this->_getCallback('output'), $this->_imageHandler, $fileName, 99); } else { call_user_func($this->_getCallback('output'), $this->_imageHandler, $fileName); }` If slightly changed the code with no difference in working. Note that I entered 99 which makes thumbnails roughly the size I had compressed them to myself. 100 makes the file bigger than the source. Anything below 99 greatly compresses again with the resulting blur. Find your own balance. Make sure to go to Cache Management and clear Image Cache. NOTE: This edits a core file and any upgrade will overwrite this. As this is not in app/code I do not know a way of simply extending this with a local Module. If anyone does, please share.

circa1977 Total Posts: 65 Joined: 2008-03-01 Ignore user	I used the earlier method and just updated 1.2.1.1 using the method on this page. Works perfectly. Question is: Can classes in /lib be extended so that this can be managed outside the Magento core, preserving upgradeability? Signature . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Mark J.

Jothai Total Posts: 10 Joined: 2008-11-06 Ignore user	Hi out there! I seem to have the same problem, but none of all these propositions do help at all. My small and thumbnail images are absolutly blurred, while the big ones are all right. Even when I display the images with the right mouse button, it`s okay, but in the category and produkt pages they look really poor. I changed the image.php, I tried the change in the list.phtml, I cleared the image cache every time, I tried other jpg-sizes and other jpg-quality… Please someone tell me what do do or what I slipped!

Till this moment your image should look good. Theese steps works perfectly for me Signature -- Michal

Jothai Total Posts: 10 Joined: 2008-11-06 Ignore user	Well, done it all and again, but nothing changed. To be shure I cleared the image cache a several times, now instead of the blurred image it says: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PUBLIC in /var/www/web34/web/lib/Varien/Image/Adapter/Gd2.php on line 89” Line 89: “public function display()” what the...?
