 * Hi, WordPress has a serious problem resizing and compressing an image where a
   pure white background image will end up with some grey stripes in it which makes
   product images look really bad. I opened a support ticket detailing this which
   can be found [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-images-34/)
 * I want to take care of the resizing and compression on my side and then just 
   FTP upload the thumbnails, can i just rename the images correctly and WooCommerce
   will pick them up? Example:
 * I have set the “Main Image With” to 510 and the “Thumbnail Width” to 247 with
   the “Thumbnail Cropping” of 1:1. I then FTP Upload three images named “Example.
   jpg”, “Example-510×510.jpg” and “Example-247×247.jpg”. I then head up to the 
   admin panel and set up the main product image to “Example.jpg”.
 * Will Woo use my thumbs? Thanks
