Resized images are png format!

[mlinvin]

My resized images are png formats and of course huge in size. How can I change so the resize will give my jpg??

Resizing of images done though SMF. But changing the size to jpeg won't really lower the size that much really and will be of lesser quality.

Ok, thanks. Stil I thing the images are far to big. I have tried different setting in the SMF module and even with 75 I get too big images when resizing. Images 680x453 are 661kB.

I'm not you are right. Just checked in photoshop an image of the sixe 660x440 pixels:

png format (png-24): 586kB
jpg (75 quality): 186kB

Yes if it is lesser quality then the image will be less space. PNG does not loose quality thats why it is used.

Is it possible to change it to jpg and 75 qulity. It is enough for me! Usinng png for this pixel sizes are just too much!

Really, the difference in images between png and the jpg (75) is minimal.

I can't accept images of 500-600 kB of size. That will fill up all my hard drive in 1 month.....

Ok here you can do it
Open Sources/Sub-Graphics.php
Find

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($modSettings['avatar_download_png']))
imagepng($dst_img, $destName);
else
imagejpeg($dst_img, $destName, 65);
Replace with

Code: [Select]

imagejpeg($dst_img, $destName, 70);

Thanks. Once again!

The images on 70 was too low quality but puuting it to 90 it looks great and the test image I run is 6 times smaller! Great!
