Image Compression Issue in Camaleon CMS 2.5.3.1 – Seeking Guidance

[BlackSquare31]

Hello, I'm using Camaleon CMS version 2.5.3.1 and have been experiencing image compression issues where uploaded images appear pixelated and have color changes. I've checked the admin panel settings, disabled image optimization plugins, and reviewed my server configuration, but the problem persists. Are there any known image compression settings or issues specific to Camaleon CMS version 2.5.3.1 that might be causing this problem? Additionally, can you recommend best practices or third-party tools to maintain image quality in this CMS version?

It's hard to know how to help without knowing your configuration. Camaleon itself doesn't adjust the quality or color of images, but it does rely on imagemagick for resizing. There shouldn't be any issues with that specific version of Camaleon, but the culprit could be anything from imagemagick to your webserver configuration. Was it working for you before, or is the problem on a new installation?

I made a plugin for image optimization. It automatically applies compression to various image types when uploading. It has an adjustable quality setting, though you can get good results without any configuration using the default setting. Be aware that it applies the compression when you upload, so the full-quality image does not get saved on the server.

However, you should make sure that image uploading is working without the plugin before you install anything else.
