/ blog | image gallery | resize images online or on your PC maintaining quality

Updated April 14, 2008

Site updates (since the last post)

Filed under: Online reshade, Reshade development — subpic @ 4:31 pm

Latest changes to the online application:

Gallery

  • image size and number of votes are always visible: on some systems there was a lag when scrolling the window because of the javascript events
  • larger perspective on thumbnail auto-zoom: crops are made from the 600×600 px medium sized image

Image resize page

  • changed placement for gallery types (my / hot / new / top)
  • options that require login are more clearly highlighted
  • images have been split into three types:
    • those below 800×600px
      • higher zooms (up to 6x) are allowed
      • have a better quality when resized
    • those with more than 4 up votes
      • better quality
      • because sharpening or smoothing are resource intensive it is disabled
    • the rest
  • collections can be modified by anyone now
  • changed placement of image title and author
  • related pictures from the same author are displayed below each image when available
  • more detailed “how to use” section
  • delete/undelete image without opening a new page
  • new smoothing method (smooth 1x) that removes artifacts better
    • it still has a minor problem on some images, a visible halo around the edges, but this will get fixed
    • display current zoom level for each image/crop selection
    • fixed bug with the crop tool: it displayed weird vertical lines
    • fixed bug with sharpening: it is stronger for very low zoom levels

    Add new image page

    • option to set the image public/private automatically after uploading
    • do not allow re-posting images that are already on reshade.com
    • some jpeg files are not displayed correctly in some browsers so a conversion to friendlier formats is done now

    There may be other changes that I did not mention here. If you have any suggestions, please take a minute to comment.
