[Plugin: WP Photo Album Plus] Thumbnails darkness

On line 207 of …/wp-photo-album-plus/wppa-class-resize.php it reads:

function saveImage($numQuality = 95){

You can change 95 into 100. This will maximize the quality of all resized images – including thumbnails – but it will increase the filesizes approx * 2. If diskspace is no problem, set it to the maximum (100).

Thanks for your answer.

Changing this setting does indeed improve picture quality. Like you say, it also takes more space. Since I will have more than 1500 photos when finished, it is food for thaught.

However, doing this does not really improve the quality of the thumbnails that are still dull. In fact, they are not darker, like I said in my first post, they lack color and presence.

To correct this, I have taken the thumbnails in this folder:
../wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/
and I have applied a Photoshop Action to all of them. It decreases Hue (-9), increases Saturation (+40) and increases Lightness a little (+2). They look much better this way and are quite close to the full size pictures.

Thanks for your help

Nice to know how you did this, but it is out of the scope of this plugin, BUT VERY USEFULL for your EXTREMELY BEAUTIFULL photos!

Do you allow me to copy a few for my Docs & Demos site?
