Description
Have you noticed that WordPress creates small images that are a bit “fuzzy” – nothing like the nice sharp original you uploaded?
After resizing an image, the image must be sharpened but WordPress doesn’t do any sharpening, so the resized image remains a bit “fuzzy” – not what you want for a featured image or shared image on social sites! The WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors (WPSSO TIE) add-on provides this missing WordPress image sharpened feature – it automatically applies sharpening to all JPEG images resized by the WordPress ImageMagick library.
Compatible with all image compression / optimization plugins:
Image sharpening is applied during the WordPress resize operation so the resulting images can still be optimized with any compression / optimization plugin.
WPSSO TIE Add-on Features
Extends the features of the WPSSO Core plugin (required plugin).
Applies adjustments to resized images (aka thumbnails) using ImageMagick:
- Enable or disable image adjustments / sharpening for resized images.
- Uses a better compression quality of 92% (WordPress default is 82%).
- Applies a default amount of sharpening values to all resized images.
Optionally select different primary / secondary image editor(s) for WordPress:
- GD Only
- GD and ImageMagick
- ImageMagick Only
- ImageMagick and GD (WordPress default)
Optionally fine-tune the image filter priority and image adjustment options:
- Modify the default ‘image_make_intermediate_size’ filter hook priority.
- Enable / disable contrast leveling.
- Increase / decrease the compression quality percentage.
- Adjust sharpening values individually (sigma, radius, amount, threshold).
WPSSO Core Required
WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors (WPSSO TIE) is an add-on for the WPSSO Core plugin, which creates extensive and complete structured data to present your content at its best for social sites and search results – no matter how URLs are shared, reshared, messaged, posted, embedded, or crawled.
