    Default Uploading product images via Admin distorts quality of image

    Uploading product images through the Admin Interface distorts the quality of the image. Any ideas?

    What's the actual size of your image? Which size was distorted, Large, medium etc?

    If you're turning on appconfig: UseImageResize and the actually size of the image is smaller than the size specified in appconfig:ProductImg_large, then that might be the reason. Have you gone through the resize image configurations yet? Just in case, see here.

    I've also found that images with green (0, 255, 0) or images with transparency aren't handled very well at all.

    This was because the UseImageResize was set to TRUE. I assume by default this is set to TRUE.

    Now, with the UseImageResize set to false. I noticed that when I upload images for icon, medium, and large size and click UPDATE. Images for icon and medium are set as the large image file.

    To get it to work, I would have to upload the large image first, and go back and add the icon and medium.

    Is there a bug?

    One of the AppConfig values that was mentioned above (as found the in manual) controls if a Large image replaces all the smaller images.

    Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. The parameter in the appconfig is "LargeCreatesOthers".
