Hello guys, have to confess it is not 100% clear for me whether you are
planning to implement a slider or some UX component to let the users
change the default 80%. In some cases image quality is simply vital even
if it consumes more bandwith.
Furthermore once i had a site to sell goods. Images were generated with
GD2 at the beginning. In case of normal-sized images it was good enough
but below 200px the generated images tended to loose on sharpness. A lot.
That was why i changed to imagick. Have to admit i used 95% quality but
even the tiniest thumbnail was cristal clear that way. Even so filesizes
were smaller than that of GD2-generated thumbs.
So all i want to point on that thumbnail image sizes might be a bit more
tricky as normal sized images, and you can not spare much bandwith on
thumbnails. That is why i think maybe you could set a higher default
quality for images that are smaller than 200px or so.
