Faded Images?

    Hello!

    I was trying to set up a photo gallery and I’ve got most of what I need taken care of.

    The one thing I’m having an issue with is figuring out how to make my thumbnail images more vibrant? They are all very faded and washed out when in thumbnails, but of course when you click into them they are a lot more vivid.

    Is there a setting I need to change in order to increase my thumbnails’ vibrancy?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi @mskraizy

    There are 2 things you can do to improve the quality of your thumbnails:

    1. Under FooGallery Settings -> Images tab, you can set the Thumbnail JPEG Quality to 90 or even 100. It is default to 80.

    2. Under FooGallery Settings -> Images tab, set the Default Retina Support to 2x. Then click “Apply Defaults to all Galleries”, then click “Save Changes”. This will tell FooGallery to generate Retina thumbnails, which look a lot crisper on retina-ready devices.

    If the above still does not give you the desired result, please check your server setup to see if the imagick PHP extension is installed on your server. Imagick is used under the hood by WordPress (if it is installed) with a fallback to the GD PHP extension. Imagick produces better quality resized images as compared to GD.
