Thumbnail quality

07 Jun 2011, 05:37

Where can I set the quality of thumbnails. Because I have set in thumbnailscroller scale 50, the thumbnail quality is not good at all, where can I set so the thumbnail is in better quality. I have to set the thumbnail scale to 100 to have it clear, otherwise the thumbnail is very unclear / pixelated

Unfortunately, thumbnails only look crystal at 100% size. This is related to how Flash scales images, and we have tested two methods - The original method pixelates thumbnails on scale, and our workaround method removes pixelation but at the cost of slightly over-blurred/smoothed thumbnails.

You have scale 50% in thumbnailscroller? I don't see a huge problem with this, as they are small and iconic, and when the visitor rolls mouse over them, they scale to a clear 100% no? You set quality of a thumbnail in terms of compression globally, but you can't set quality of a 50% scaled thumbnail as this is done client side ...
