Hi there, I’m trying to use img-resizer to create retina/non-retina versions of photos.  However, it seems you can only specify a single quality for both sizes.

The problem I’m having is that with retina images, I need to be able to set the quality very low to reduce the file size (low quality doesn’t make a noticeable difference for retina images).  However, for “regular” size images, I need to be able to set the quality a little higher, otherwise they look a little blurry.

With there only being a single setting for quality, you either have to go with a higher quality, which = huge file sizes, but the regular size image will look better.  Or, you have to go lower quality, which = smaller file sizes, but the regular photos are not very good.

Is there way to specify the quality separately?  If not, maybe a feature request :)

Thanks,

It’s not possible to set different qualities currently. It shouldn’t be too hard to add an option for it though, I will try to take a look at it this week.

Wow, that would be really awesome!

Hi Susan,

I’ve added a retina_quality parameter, you can set that to change the quality of the retina image. Otherwise it will use the quality setting just like before.

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Thank you so very much!  I will give it a try today :)

Works perfectly.  Thanks again for the fantastic support!
