Description Matthias Wieser 2005-11-07 23:32:24 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.92)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When using the flickr export plugin (kipi-plugin) to scale down and upload images the quality of the resulting jpeg files is very bad.

Fo example if I set the option to downscale a image before upload (to 1024px) the resulting jpeg file is very blurry which is caused by the high jpeg compression ratio. This effect especially is visible if the image contains fine structures like a tree in front of the blue sky.

This unnecessarily makes the downscale feature more or less unusable for me and my friends.

Please, please make the compression ratio adjustable (config file; gui is not necessary) or at least tweak it so that the resulting filesizes (and quality) are comparable to those produced by gimp (85%, 4:2:2).

Thanks!

If you can attach a the two images, or give the input image for testing, I will fix the bug sooner :)
Anyways I will add the option in sometime.

I patched it long time back. Perhaps forgot to mark it fixed. The current UI does have options to set these values.
