Image upload quality

Hi all,

When my users are uploading JPEG images on the forum using the attachment control panel, the resulting image quality is often very poor, have a look:

I had the same problem with the photo album when I firstly installed IM but in this case the control panel allow us to define accurately the maximum pictures properties (size in pixels and bytes) so I managed to solve the problem there by increasing the different size a lot.
Unfortunately In the attachement mod control panel we can only set a maximum size in byte for all type of files to upload, images or not, and I set it up to 20Mb which should be strongly enough for a jpeg image of about 300Ko, unfortunately, the resulting uploaded image quality is still very poor <img>

Any help would be apprecied!

Cheers

Go to ACP>Extensions>Special Categories.

Here you can set the way the attach mod handles images.

If you are using the GD2 Extension:
PHP is able to be compiled with the GD1 or GD2 Extension for image manipulating. To correctly create Thumbnails without imagemagick the Attachment Mod uses two different methods, based on your selection here. If your thumbnails are in a bad quality or screwed up, try to change this setting.

Thank you, I changed the size from 0x0 to 3000x3000 but it changes nothing, the quality of image uploaded is still poor :x
