• I see that resized images in WordPress don’t look good as they could be.
    Here’s a sample comparing a resized 1280pix wide image, Google + vs. WordPress
    How can this be improved?
    Thank you

    Ah! Great!
    I have IM installed.
    I could not found if there is a requirement about the IM version.
    I have an old one but the up-to-date one according to the last repository version
    Do you know if there is a version limit?
    Thank you

    This is fantastic, it has an option to recreate resized images from the original already uploaded.
    I also can forget to change color profile to sRGB before uploading.
    Thank you

    Cool, glad it worked out for you 🙂

    Well, I’m still not satisfied with the results.

    I found the reason. This is not the plugin, it is user’s browser who has to download large size images to display them smaller.

    Adding an image to a new entry from multimedia library I have four sizes to select based on the original width and height:
    small (always 150px X 150px),
    medium (always 300px X 200px),
    large (624px X proportional height
    and the original photo.
    I always select ‘large’ for my entries.

    HERE’S an output of an entry image.
    HTML code for the image is
    <img class=”size-large wp-image-259 ” src=”…wp-content/uploads/2013/10/G0013349-1024x721.jpg” width=”625” height=”440″>

    Notice that the user has to download a width=1024px image to rezise it in browser to 625px (why WS offers ‘large’ width=624 and then use 625?)
    Even worst (for image quality), that image is not diplayed at 625px, it is 555px (because css styles)

    Here is that photo in my WP website (crop from link above) and here it is in my non WP site processed by image magick convert tool

    So my big question is, how can I create (server side) a width=555px photo from the original one and use it in my entries?

    I need to clarify if I am able to create that image, WP scripts will not use it. See that already exists a 624px image but the script needs a 1024px to reduce it to 625px.
    Then css displays 555px.

    Thanks for any help.
