I am working on PIL and need to know if the image quality can be adjusted while resizing or thumbnailing an image. From what I have known is the default quality is set to 85. Can this parameter be tweaked during resizing?
I am currently using the following code:
image = Image.open(filename)
image.thumbnail((x, y), img.ANTIALIAS)
The ANTIALIAS
parameter presumably gives the best quality. I need to know if we can get more granularity on the quality option.
Use PIL's resize
method manually:
image = image.resize((x, y), Image.ANTIALIAS) # LANCZOS as of Pillow 2.7
Followed by the save method
quality_val = 90
image.save(filename, 'JPEG', quality=quality_val)
Take a look at the source for models.py
from Photologue to see how they do it.
