22Slides

Have you ever added a photo to a website and noticed it looks slightly softer or sharper than you originally intended?

Image sharpness can vary due to a lot of things like JPEG image compression, the way different color tones interact with JPEG compression, resampling for the web, and browser rendering.

It’s that unintentional variation in image sharpness that we’re trying to remedy today, by introducing a new image sharpening setting, which will let you choose between no sharpening, low, and strong sharpening.

• “No Sharpening” has been 22Slides’ default behavior and works well for most images.
• **“Low Sharpening” **has proven to help retain an image’s original crispness that may have been lost in the compression/resampling process.
• “Strong Sharpening” is for those edge cases where you either want the absolutely grittiest vibe, or desperately need to mask a blurry photo. This new option can be found on the “Settings” page of your control panel.

Please note that changing this setting will not affect images that have already been uploaded. Instead, it’ll only affect images uploaded after the setting has been changed.
