Drupal Imagecache Quality on JPGs
I’ve recently noticed that the quality of my Imagefield Images after being resized through Imagecache have been seriously degraded in terms of quality. I’m using the PHP GD Tookit for image processing and thought that the problem might be with the Image Tookit Settings, under: http://example.com/admin/settings/image-toolkit. After modifying this setting from 75% to 100% I didn’t notice any increase in quality. So I came up with a different hypothesis: Maybe the problem was with the file-type itself. So I uploaded a PNG in place of the JPG, and Imagecache scaled the image while pristinely preserving the image quality.
My Conclusion:
If you’re going to use Imagecache on your Imagefields upload PNGs.
