[Solved] Images in product list are blurry ?

[yourplaything]

Hi guys !

 

Wondering if someone can help? I am using PS 1.5 and theme LEO TSHIRT. But have problems with the image quality - they are displaying but are low quality / blurry. The image quality is set to 100 for JPG and 0 for PNG, so i know it is not that. I have read other post and think it may have something to do with the image sizes??

 

Would appreciate some help ASAP as this is a live store and does not look very good for the reputation of my successful company, i did not have this issue with PS 1.4.

 

Here is a link the a product list: http://www.yourplayt....co.uk/50-books

Your problem is that you are displaying image 220 x 220 when the actual image is 130 x 130 (home_default) so you are stretching the image and that why its look blurry.

 

Real quick solution (not sure if its the best, but ....) is to edit " themes/leo_tshirt/product-list.tpl " and change line 42 from:

 

<img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home_default')}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if isset($homeSize)} width="{$homeSize.width}" height="{$homeSize.height}"{/if} />

 

TO:

 

<img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'large_default')}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if isset($homeSize)} width="{$homeSize.width}" height="{$homeSize.height}"{/if} />

 

 

what you will do in this case is load a larger image and than shrink it instead of stretching it.

 

don't forget to clear your browser cache to see changes.

 

Let me know if it works.

Thanks for that. However i have managed to solve this but simply checking my 'product-list.css' and find what image size it was requesting. And then change my image size in preferences>images 220px x 330px and then regenerated the 'home_default' images.

 

Looking at your solution it should of worked too i just managed to sort this out before reading your reply, thank you for taking the time to reply! :-)
