Upcoming Events Layout - Columns — Image have way to much compression?

Hello

Maybe it is be because the size of image is changed? Could you please send us link to the page so that I can check it?

Also, the quality of the resized image is controlled by two config options:

- Resized PNG Image Quality
- Resized JPGE Image Quality

You can change it to higher value

I don’t want my image to change at all
0 manipulation, 0 resize, 0 compression — I want the image to be responsive from the full original 1200x675px image (only 57k anyway)

How to achieve that — I will work with JPG only

Ok I find the problem.

Your system is not working properly, you absolutely need a “ Do not compress or resize my images.

I explain:
Note: My upload original image is 1200px x 675px & weight only 57kb
— Compress by drag/drop, default setting in the online free Google developed Apps —>   squoosh.app  

• Starting with the ”Upcoming Events Layout”  
I discover that your system AUTOMATICALLY manipulate the image even if I don’t want to and change all the Images settings to achieve that...
Point 1:  To my knowledge the image is manipulate by multiple settings In the Global config —> Image Settings functions
—The image is, at least, manipulate by the Event Thumb Width & Height setting

— Because I dont want my image modified , I input the original image size (1200px x 675px) in the Event Thumb settings
— I also put the Resized PNG & JPG Image Quality to the maximum

RESULTS
Big improvement of the Upcoming layout image  — 
Image size is now 204kb — 4x bigger than my original image — 

• In the ”Details layout”  
The Image size is now 148kb — 3x bigger than my original image — 

You need to fix that!
— First you need a Global config or per User or per User Group setting to NOT MANIPULATE the images, at least in theses 2 layouts
— second you need a better compression scheme
 

Hi, this is a problem for me too. I agree with Patrick. Is it possible to add a "not resize images" in the admin config? Thanks

So you don't want the system to resize the original image to make thumbnail image?

That sound strange to me. So you only upload small image (which can be used as thumbnail image for the event) ?

A solution (maybe the best) could be to change resizing system.
If I set thumb to 200x160px, for example, small images in TIMELINE VIEW are ok, but when I go to COLUMN VIEW (think of 3 or 2 columns 360px wide each), the system takes the 200px thumbnails and stretches them for the column view. In this way, images result really blurry and ugly.
If in COLUMN VIEW images could be just responsive (without being phisically resized by the internal tool) I think it could be best.

So my proposal could be:
- use thumbnails for the timeline view
- use responsiveness (starting fron the original image and NOT from the thumbnail image) in column view.

PS: as I wrote you in a personal ticket, images with names too long give error and aren't resized, nor showed in frontend.

Thank you.

An automatic system to resize & optimize images is a good thing when you working with people that know nothing about images.
• You should keep the possibility to resize & optimize images automatically 
— But obviously (as you see below) your system is far to do a good job — You need to fix that
— And for people like me or using tools like Google Squoosh or Photoshop or any other tools to compress their own images before using them on the web, you need to have a no resize, no compress option

Look at my explanation above, you will understand. 
I resume: 
• My upload original image is 1200px x 675px  & weight only  57kb  
— Compress by drag/drop, default setting in the online free Google developed Apps —>   squoosh.app  

• When passing in your automatic resize/optimize system (because we have no way to put it off)
— It make the original top quality  1200px x 675px — 57kb   —>  4x bigger (240 kb) in the ”Upcoming Events Layout”  &  3x bigger (180kb) in the ”Details layout ” 
— And make the image look bad

From Francesca

- use responsiveness (starting from the original image and NOT from the thumbnail image) in column view.

That will be the best solution for a “ no resize, no compress option”
— One photo for all purpose.
— If you compress it well, by being responsive, it can be great looking and small in weight for ALL EB layout
