Attachments: patch to use QImage.scaled with SmoothTransform mode

Description Matthias Welwarsky 2009-02-14 14:51:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When downscaling images before upload to flickr, QImage.scale() is used with default transformation mode, FastTransform. This creates ugly artifacts in downscaled images due to pixel aliasing effects. SmoothTransform should be used instead.

Luka,

This patch is true for flickr. Perhaps it's also right with others plugins as PicasaWeb, FaceBook, Smug, etc... Can you take a look ? Thanks in advance...

SVN commit 926795 by lure:

Use Qt::SmoothTransform when image is resized. This is fixed for Calendar,
Advanced Slideshow, GalleryExport, FlashExport, FlickrExport, Facebook and 
SmugMug plugins.

Thanks to Matthias Welwarsky for noticing this and proposing patch.
