The thumbnails render in low quality. How can I fix that?

Thanks

Hey  Micha:

{module_photogallery,ID,rowLength,targetFrame,resultsPerPage,Width,Height,UseStandardMethod}

You can add additional parameters to the Photo Gallery module to customize it further:

{module_photogallery,ID,rowLength,targetFrame,resultsPerPage,Width,Height,UseStandardMethod} 

The following parameters are accepted:

• ID - System generated ID (Do not change this number.)
• rowLength - Set the number of photos displayed per row
• targetFrame - Set the destination frame where the photos will open (such as _blank)
• resultsPerPage - Set the number of photos displayed per page
• Width/Height - Set the width and height of the thumbnail images. The default value is 80 pixels wide by 80 pixels high.
• UseStandardMethod - Use the standard Thumbnail Generation. Set to False for better thumbnail quality (with increased file size).

Examples

This updated module tag displays 4 photos per line and a maximum of 12 photos per page. The thumbnail size has also been set to 120x120 pixels:

{module_photogallery,id,4,,12,120,120,true}

Note: If an image is 640 pixels wide x 400 pixels high and you set the thumbnail size to 120 x 120 pixels the thumbnail image will have a maximum width of 120 and a smaller height. Proportions are respected when creating the thumbnail image. Alternatively if the image dimensions are 400 pixels wide x 640 pixels high then the height will be 120 pixels and the width smaller. The thumbnail size dictates the maximum width or the maximum height of the image.

Knowledgebase has all this stuff so it is a good place to always check for the otions:

Great thanks. I was looking for this KB page but it's impossible to find under Adobe's support pages.

not working.

False or True did not change the quaity of the thumbnails.

code looks like this:

thumbnail quality set to False

{module_photogallery,17890,6,,100,80,80,false,fill }

thumbnail quality set to True

{module_photogallery,17890,6,,100,80,80,true,fill }

thumbnail quality set to fill proportional

{module_photogallery,17890,6,,100,80,80,true,proportional }

Me or others when we can will get back to you on this, Please do not create multiple posts on the same topic

Will check when I got a minute but likely you got the wrong set of commas etc. Still working on sites I have it implemented.

Thanks Liam,

I wasn't sure you got my reply as I relied to myself.

The additional post was to show that the true and false do not work whatever I tried to do even with a new gallery set to default the quality of the thumbnails is low.

My client is waiting for me to resolve this and I am just a bit under pressure to finalize this today.

Cheers
