Not working or what am I missing?

    This is really driving me nuts. I’m a photographer and upload images of a certain size that I want displayed in all its glory without some smartass software compressing the images ??

    So, I found this plugin, set the compression to 100%, regenerated thumbnails.

    But there is no effect at all.

    Images still show with a much smaller file size. A 1MB photo gets compressed to 164KB, etc.

    Tried multiple times, with multiple images.

    I’m happy to update that this is working just fine today! Thumbnails have increased in size from ~15KB to ~140KB or so while full size images have increased from 160KB or so to whatever size I’ve uploaded (usually around 0.5MB).

    Hi @zehawk, sorry to hear this happened to you. As you confirmed, the plugin does work …just that image compression is measured in quality-%’s instead of size-change-%’s. Not always intuitive but it’s how compression has been measured for as long as I’ve been on a computer.

    Anyway, for anyone else coming by this thread:
    * 100% setting (aka, 100% quality) ==> Least compression & biggest filesizes
    * 0% setting (0% quality) ==> Most compression & smallest filesizes

    WP recently changed its default image compression % to 82%, so I’ll update the default in this plugin & also make note of the meaning of 100->0% in the plugin notes & help text.
