Default assets compression

Hi,

all assets uploaded via perch interface get heavily compressed.

For ex. this image https://www.trilipiderm.com/perch/resources/mothersday16-1-6.jpg

When i download this image via ftp i can see, it has the correct size and original quality.

The compression is still the same even when I setup the field type like this.

<img data-u="image" src="<perch:content type="image" density="1" quality="100" sharpen="0" id="hp_carousel_image" label="Banner" />" alt="<perch:content id="hp_carousel_alt" type="text" label="Alt text" required="false" />" />

Thank you.

Have you uploaded a new image file since changing the quality attribute?

I'd suggest using a low level of sharpening to offset the natural softening that will occur when an image is scaled down.

Yes, I did, but with no luck, alwas the same.

<img data-u="image" src="<perch:content type="image" density="1" quality="100" sharpen="0" id="hp_carousel_image" label="Banner" />" alt="<perch:content id="hp_carousel_alt" type="text" label="Alt text" required="false" />" />

Also, when i overwrite uploaded images on ftp with uncompressed versions and look at the files in a browser - it looks compressed.

I just noticed you're not specifying a width or height - in which case Perch is not doing anything to your image. The quality and sharpness only affects image resizing.

If you're seeing a difference between the file you're downloading via HTTP and FTP, then you should look at what's happening on your network. For example, mobile data networks will often heavily compress images.
