Title: Adjust thumbnail quality
Post by: ggww on January 22, 2008, 11:47:26 AM

Is it possible to adjust the quality of the image thumbnails that News Portal produces? I have sized the images I am using so that the dimension ratios don't change, but of course the thumbnail process is introducing some quality reduction. I would like to find where in the code it is creating the thumbnails and up the quality a bit. I am only using 200x200 for my largest (top stories) size and the thumbs that news portal is producing have a fair amount of artifacting on them. I have browsed the code, but can't find where this is happening. Clues would be welcome.

Thanks,
Bryan

Once again I just need to look harder. The create_thumbnails function in news_portal.html.php is where this is at. They use the imagejpeg, imagegif and imagepng functions. Quality can be set there.
