ImageMagick compression function call

[ppostuser]

Hello,

I am using ImageMagick and the prob is the large size images have too much compression. I have the image quality setting in the admin panel set to 100.

So I am trying to get my hosting co to reset ImageMagick compression up from the default compression level which is 75. And they have now replied twice that the problem is somewhere in the PPost script even though I've explained that my setting is 100 in the admin panel:

"Yes, this means you need to edit Photopost since it has functions that are calling the binaries. Which is why I said to contact Photopost in my first reply. They most likey have a setting set to 75 so, you can ask them which file that setting is in and change it yourself."

So my question is: is the quality setting in the ppost admin panel the final rule, or is there someplace in the php code that the ImageMagick function call needs to be adjusted also?

Thanks

We clearly pass the img quality to Imagemagick in the call to it based on what you have set

$syscmd = "\"{$Globals['mogrify_command']}\" -quality {$Globals['imgquality']} -geometry {$newwidth}x{$newheight} $shellpath";


see this

-quality {$Globals['imgquality']}

Quality is set to whatever you have it set to.

Thanks for the confirmation. I will fwd this to my host and hopefully fix this issue...

Sorry to be a pain -- I need to find out whether Photopost adds any extra compression when using the popup option to display the largest/full size version of photos.

I assume popup option is just javascript code and nothing to do with compression -- but I still need to eliminate this as a possible issue...as it seems since I switched to popup full size pics the compression is greater.

OK I just did my own test and it seems that the answer is no.
