Whilst uploading images for my Projects and Testimonials sections, I noticed
|
|
|
|
|
that the Imagecache-scaled images weren't as high a quality the originals on my

Mac. I did some searching online and found out that, by default, Drupal
|
|
|
|
|
resamples uploaded jpgs to 75% of their original quality.

- admin/settings/imageapi/config
|
|
|
|
|
- admin/settings/image-toolkit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first one is for ImageAPI. Primarily, this means Imagecache presets. The
|
|
|
|
|
second one is for core's image.inc. This is used for resizing profile pictures
|
|
|
|
|
in core, and some contrib modules. Once changed, I did have to flush each of the
|
|
|
|
|
Imagecache presets (admin/dist/imagecache) for the changes to take effect.
