Hello
could you be more precise: what criterias of quality are you talking? do you talk about the resized pictures? etc
if you're really a photographer you should come with precise vocabulary and analysis

That is only for size, not for image quality. Please elaborate on how you correlate size with quality?

ok?
Wait, "show details". Found it, far to the right.
But where do you guys get those default values from? They are not 3:4 standards, not even 16:9 or 16:10 or anything I have seen before?

did you update from a previous piwigo version which were not using auto generation? because values can be calculated from that
Offline
No it is a default setup from scratch.
Image size auto generation could of course explain it somewhat.
Piwigo version: 2.7.3
PHP: 5.2.42-servage30 (Show info) [2015-02-03 08:16:47]
MySQL: 5.0.85-log [2015-02-03 08:34:24]

So this:
IMG_SQUARE => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::square(120,120) ), 222 IMG_THUMB => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(144,144) ), 223 IMG_XXSMALL => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(240,240) ), 224 IMG_XSMALL => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(432,324) ), 225 IMG_SMALL => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(576,432) ), 226 IMG_MEDIUM => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(792,594) ), 227 IMG_LARGE => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(1008,756) ), 228 IMG_XLARGE => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(1224,918) ), 229 IMG_XXLARGE => new DerivativeParams( SizingParams::classic(1656,1242) ),
is not correct in the setup?
Offline
yes it is
I was answering myself saying 'no', like you did too

Warning : image quality can be related to your internet connection. For example, when I use a mobile 3G connection, my internet provider compress the photos and they become very low quality.
We need to see a specific example before we can say the resize made by Piwigo is repsonsible for a reduced quality.

I think I have a similar issue: I want to use Piwigo on a webspace also as a sort of backup of the pictures which I have on my HDD. This means that they need to be up on Piwigo in the same format, quality and size as they are on my HDD. How can I make sure this happens? What are the settings I need to put in Ploader? Is there anything that I need to change on the server side in Piwigo as well=
I'm a bit worried because after reading the last comment, it seems to me that it is not guaranteed that the pictures uploaded to my server will have the same format, quality and size (even if I knew the settings that I need to change to make this theoretically possible) as the ones on my HDD.

nonono Piwigo doesn't change anything to uploaded pictures unless you have specified a resize at Upload in Option->Size
then the others are auto generated pictures
The last comment is made by our founder and main Piwigo developer talking about the image quality you can actually receive on your web browser due compressions applied by Content Delivery Networks, server itself... well any intermediary process on which Piwigo can't do anything
