Thumbnail quality.

Good day.

Is there any way to get better quality thumbnails?
When using ACDSee or Irfanview, when resizing with lanczos filter, the images look better And are usually smaller than the thumbs that Quick.Cart churns out. Any way to remedy this?

Other than that, Very happy with how Quick.Cart works :)

default quality for creating images is set to 80 if you want to change it go to file "libraries/FotoJobs.php" and find line:

you may change value of that variable to 90 for example...

Thanks for the reply.

That improves the situation somewhat, but the difference in quality with say, Irfanview is still rather dramatic.
Here's an example:

and

Irfanview at 80% quality and QuickCart at 90%.
Same filesize, as you see in the text, it's a big difference.

I've used phpThumb before, and I can't remember there being this "problem" there, whlie they use gd2 for image editting as well. Or has that something to do with ImageMagick?

Thanks for the comments so far :)
