I've tried nearly everything to get my image quality to improve upon upload. I have an imagestyle on my image upload field that is set to resize uploaded images to 300x300. I've installed ImageMagick (hearing a myth that doing so improves the image quality drastically), but I see no change.

I'm desperate - any idea as to how I can get my images to maintain their quality when uploaded? This seems like it should be a simple thing?

See example below. The image on the left is what it looks like when I resize outside of Drupal (e.g. with Photoshop; see how sharp it is?!) - the image on the right is when it's resized via Drupal image field/image style.

    Please define "Quality"? – Zachary Mar 1 '18 at 4:19
  • As in, I have a really sharp 2000 x 2000px image on my desktop. When I upload it via Drupal's image upload field and size it down to 300x300 with image cache, the image is extremely blurry/fuzzy (if I do this same resize in photoshop, the image doesn't get blurry/fuzzy at all). How can I keep this from happening? I want to size it down because my images have a zoom feature that also allows users to view the larger image. @Zachary – Brittany Mar 1 '18 at 4:26
  • Is there any chance you could upload an example of what's happening? – Zachary Mar 1 '18 at 4:39

    As far as drupal goes that’s the only obvious answer @Brittany, there aren’t any other configuration options related to jpg quality. This might be something you have to fix in the config of your image library – Clive♦ Mar 1 '18 at 7:29
