Title: Images and Dimensions
Post by: jadaro2600 on January 31, 2010, 04:05:10 PM
I've noticed that the images that are posted as attachments are being resized automatically, this sometimes makes normal anti-aliased images appear damaged, or fruitless. I understand the need to resize a large photo, ...

Is there any way that this can be avoided on smaller image dimensions; the smaller ones - particularly the blueprints and diagrams - aren't being displayed in their normal form ( sometimes hard to read or pixelized ).

I noticed this is only slight, it may just be my browser, but I think it has something to do with the CSS margins or padding..  It may be happening as a resize there if the given dimensions of an image are confined by the HTML code height and width parameters in the output code.  If these are being generated on the fly by the PHP, then this is certainly the case.  As all the images, when viewed via a right click -> view image, are appearing normally, while on the website, they are looking constrained.

probably not, without using scalable vector graphics. bitmap images kind of suck.
