keat Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Guys. My thumbnail images are really pixellated. when you enter into a product, the image is nice a clear, just the thumbnails are very poor. From what I can see, the thumbnails are reduced in size to become a thumbnail, but then the cubecart enlarges this thunmbnail image to make it look really poor. Any ideas. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance In your Admin control panel choose General settings - then near the bottom you will find Image settings - the last setting here should be something like image quailty and then under it 60-80 recommended - set the figure here to say 80 and save settings (at the bottom of the page) You will need to delete the image from the product page and then add it back from your uploads folder. Hope this helps Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Jim I tried all this.. even tried increasing the image quality to 999, but it still does the same. It looks like it's something to do with the ArwenBlue skin that I'm using. If I switch back to the classic skin, the thumbnails look OK. I have a way to overcome this.. but it's not ideal. Copy the images into the thumbs folder, and rename them.. seems to work. But only after modifying the product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cartpauj Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm also using the ArwenBlue theme and you can tell a difference in this picture and the thumb next to it. The thumb definitely looks blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 As the problem is with a skin that is supplied by a third party then it would be best to contact them rather than ask here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cartpauj Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that the theme only uses the images that CC creates so the bad thumbs would be a CC problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cartpauj Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 So I did a check and I was wrong. The theme is resizing the images to fit within its bounds so to fix this I just deleted all my images and set my thumbnail size to 110 and max image size to 250 with quality set to 80. Then reloaded the images and it has made a world of difference. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this and they still look pretty poor compared to using say the classic skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
