Poor image quality when uploading an image with Rise
- 6 years ago
Hi everyone!
Do you have an image that looks blurry in Rise 360? We've designed a workaround to keep your images looking crystal clear.
If you'd like an image to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind that the 5GB file size limit still applies, and you could see an increase in your output file size.
Hi Irina, I reposted the original message!
The problem is more severe with PNG graphics than it is with JPG photos. While fiddling around to get better quality with PNGs, I found that if I save a PNG with transparency, it looks much better than the same image saved as PNG wihtout transparency. I suppose that when the transparency box is checked, Rise must respect the file format to render the transparency.
Here is my PNG image in Rise without transparency
Here is the same image with transparency
Artefacts and most banding are gone. Note that it is not necessary to have transparent areas in the image, you just have to tick the transparency checkbox when exporting to PNG.
