I have a client who is a photographer. He wants to show his photos as sharp as possible on his website.
Few days ago I did a proposal and he is fine with the propasal EXCEPT he finds that the images are not shown very sharp …I had no idea what he was talking about but we did a test today:
– On one page we didn’t us the Avia Builder, just the standard WP editor and we placed an image on that page “old-school”-style.
– On another page we used the same image in the masonry gallery, if you click on that image, the large version shows up in a lightbox.Om the screen of my computer (an old non HD screen) both images look the same. At least I can’t see any difference.
But on his screen (brandnew 4k thing) we see A HUGE difference. The image that we placed with the standard editor is way more sharp.So it looks like that -on the newest screens- images don’t show very sharp when we are using the Avia Builder …
Is there a solution for this? What is reason that images shown in a lightbox (from a gallery that is a widget in the Avia Builder) are not as sharp as images that are placed on a page with the default editor. How to solve?
Can we use a external plugin to avoid / solve this. For example this one: http://preview.codecanyon.net/item/justified-image-grid-premium-wordpress-gallery/full_screen_preview/2594251?_ga=2.151286585.1070701800.1493752092-1348700453.1493752092.
Is it possible that that plugin will show images “better” then Enfold does? Or do you know another plugin that can do the trick?This is the first time I’m in a situation like this. Also because I don’t have a very good screen on my laptop I never noticed any difference between images. But apparently there can be a huge difference.
I hope you can help me on this one. Thanks!
Hey jurgen1979,
Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look and could you specify a page with that issue as well.
Best regards,
VictoriaSure. But this is not something that is only on this website. I mean: you can check it everywhere.
Also remember: you can’t see the difference on a ‘normal’ screen. You must compare images on a high res screen.In fact the question that I have is this: is there something (some code) that “optimizes” images when shown in a Enfold-widget like the masonry gallery lightbox?
And when I say “optimizes” I mean: make it better for web (= compress image, make it less big, etc …). Because for us, web-people, that’s what optimizing images means. For my client the photographer on the other hand “optimizing” means that you make a photo better/sharper. In his eyes/world compressing an image (= “our” way of optimizing) is ruining a photo. :-)
I know this is a silly discussion … Before this I never ever thought of it. (Maybe also because of the fact that I don’t own such an expensive, high res screen. It all looks the same for me.)
Hi jurgen1979,
Here is some theory for you to consider :)
Best regards,
VictoriaHello
Thank you … However … This is not helping me a lot.What we notice is that when we place an image in the default editor, the image looks good / sharp enough.
But if we want to show that image by using a widget from the Avia Builder, the image looks less sharp …So in fact the info you provided is not very usefull.
I just uploaded another image. On the same pages that I’ve send before. Can you check those on for example an iPad? Then you really see the difference around the eye. The small hairs look very sharp on the page that is build with the default editor, but a bit smudgy on the page that is build with the Avia Builder.
There is something in the Avia Builder widgets that makes images a bit blurry … Question is what? I would love to convince this client to work with Enfold because of so many reasons, but if I can’t solve this it’s a no go for him …
I think I found a solution …
Lightbox uses images that are scaled (to 1030 pixels) … that’s the problem.I really think that Kriesi should take a look at this issue. High resolution images (and full HD screens) will come up more and more …
Enfold is the best theme in the world. This is something that can be a key thing in the future.
Hi,
Thank you for the feedback. We’ll let Kriesi know so he can consider it for future updates.
I think it would be best if you post in our feature request system: https://kriesi.at/support/enfold-feature-requests/. This system allows us to keep track of user suggestions and lets you vote on the feature you would like to see the most.
Cheers!
