Image quality

[cnidarian]

After importing, I've noticed that some images in my entries are blurrier on DW than they appear on LJ. It's not a big deal, but I was wondering why this was.
For example: this, on LJ, shows much sharper than it does here on DW. For some reason, even though the img code in the entry is set as a certain width, the images are all being rescaled by a few pixels. Or at least it is for me and some others; it seems to be showing fine for some people.
Thanks!

eta: seems to be caused by the CSS making a border (to show it's a link) part of the image width. So the image is being rescaled down to give the border 4 pixels. I'm using Firefox; I think with IE it shows up non-blurry. Or something. Anyway, putting border=0 in the img html solves it, yey. Thanks to sophie for that!

It's something in you layout style, probably some CSS. If I look at the post in my style or light format, the weirdness goes away.

[sashajwolf]

Yes, it looks okay in my style too.

[cnidarian]

Huh. You're right, looks fine in light style. I guess once DW is out of beta, I can change the layout. For now, since it's a summary post and is linked to from a sticky, I can just put the addy in like this so that people see it in light format. Cheers!

eta: it's a link-border thing - the 4 pixels are being taken out to make a border. So putting border=0 in the html solves it (I've left it blurry for the styles team to look at, but the images further down in the entry are fixed).

Oh, how weird -- I can see the difference for sure. Sorry I don't have any clue as to why it would be. *lurks to find out*

[cnidarian]

I'm glad it's not just me. Something to do with the layout apparently, fixed it by making the link send readers to a light style view. Yey.

Huh - both look equally blurry to me, but my eyes are of questionable reliability therefore: grain of salt.

*g*

(also, sorted it. something to do with the layout.)

Did you let them know about the issue in dw_styles? (If you were using an official style when you had the blurriness?) If their CSS is doing something like that, they need to warn people about using the style or fix it or something.

[cnidarian]

No, I haven't, but I shall do so now. Good idea, thanks.

It seems that it was resized to be just slightly smaller on your DW entry -- 445 pixels wide vs 449 on LJ.

Maybe something in the CSS?

[cnidarian]

Hmm, yeah. Looking at the properties the LJ one is 445 and the DW is 445 rescaled to 441. Which is odd, since the code in the entry sets the width as 445. I don't know nearly enough about these things, but is it the CSS that scales it down (and why, for all of 4 pixels?)? I've let dw_styles know. Thanks.
