Tiled Gallery: thumbnail quality

Hi Jeremy,

thank you for the verification and confirmation. In the version that uses the w and h parameters, it looks as if the resulting output file is actually 1 pixel smaller on each side than the one using the resize parameter.

Let’s hear what the master of Photon will speak. 🙂

Hello Jeremy, the images from the first example do look better now indeed.

The problem with the square crop image in the second example remains though. When I use “Inspect Element” on that particular tile (lower right) I see that the size is shown as 322 x 323, while the actual image is square format (900 x 900).

It appears like that in the source as well so I’m guessing this is a result of the layout that the Tiled Gallery magic algorithm chose:

Using the resize parameter again yields a better result: https://i1.wp.com/www.alex-kunz.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Red-Hill-Marina-Trees-9355.jpg?resize=323,322

I can resolve this by changing this particular Tiled Gallery style to “Square Tiles” instead of the default “Rectangular” and I guess I’ll eventually do just that, but I thought I’d leave it for now so that you can take another look.

Alex.

Thank you Jeremy – I flushed my browser cache(s) as well (tried three different ones again) but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Images resized by Photon with the w and h parameter are still blurry, unfortunately.

Can the Tiled Galleries be switched internally to use resize instead of w and h?
