Description Yoshio Sato 2025-03-11 12:16:27 UTC
GWENVIEW USES BLURRY SCALING METHOD/ALGORITHM


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an image with a higher resolution than your display
2. Scale the image in any way with it still being higher dpi relative to your display
3. Observe blurry scaling of the image
4. (optional) Open same image with same scaling in Nomacs (or any other viewer with good scaling method)
5. (optional) Confirm that compared to Nomacs Gwenview does have a blurry scaling method

OBSERVED RESULT
Blurry images on scaling in any direction (zoom in/out)

EXPECTED RESULT
Naturally crisp images on zoom in any direction (as long as you don't zoom it into oblivion)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
See attached screenshots to compare the quality of scaling
*I did not manage to match the zoom levels perfectly in both image viewers

Hi - merging this in with the existing open report about Gwenview producing a blurry-looking result when zooming < 100%. Thanks!
