Forum:Degraded JPG thumbnails after gallery update

The recent gallery update has brought along another problem with regards to image thumbnails.

Until then, the sharpness and quality of thumbnails are dependent on the quality of full image uploaded; this has led me to upload high quality JPG images that automatically generate crisp thumbnail images capable of illustrating subject matters in greater detail. Having only surfaced late last year, the feature proved to be handy in galleries, where it's necessary to keep image size small.

The update has now led every JPG thumbnail to be generated in degraded quality, affecting every image I've uploaded since the update; strangely, these degraded thumbnails are still saved in the same JPG quality as the original image. Compare (before) with  (after), for example.

PNG and GIF images, being loseless formats, are apparently unaffected.

Disappointing, to say the least. - ZS 18:43, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
