Poor image quality when uploading an image with Rise
Hello,
I created and saved-for-web a .png image in Photoshop. When I uploaded it with Rise (as a centered image in my blocks-lesson), it converted it with poor quality. Is it possible to avoid tho...
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.
I wanted to say thank you for the _NOPROCESS_ hack - that solved my problems with quality distortion. However... is Articulate doing anything to address the bigger issue?
That's no hack, that's the solution aka naming toggle to switch off image compression. It wasn't originally in Rise for the first couple of years and the developers added it after the many asks on here & feature requests.
As far as I know, Articulate has no plans to alter the compression algorithms applied to user uploaded graphics (that lack the no compression naming toggle). It's a server-side space-saving decision, considering they're hosted in AWS and that costs them at the enterprise level based on overall storage used month-to-month, year-to-year.
It would be nice if the feature could be a setting at the project level!
