Double or triple the resolution of the Sample project images.
Posted: 31 Mar 23, 11:02

If you install jAlbum, you get automatically a 'Sample Project' for testing variants and WEBP output on various devices.

However the maximum resolution of the images is maximal 2000x1333, so the output is also limited to 2000x1333.. This is not sufficient for for instance a 4k laptop (3840x2160) and larger monitors.

Also for smaller devices, iPhones and iPads etc. there is no differentiation, they all show the same 2.0x:2000x1333 (WEBP) images.

So my request is to increase the resolution of the Sample Project images.

If you do that you see more differences between devices as you can see in my PhotoSwipe SrcSets test album and my Tiger SrcSets test album, where images of about 4608x3456 are used.

My tests show also that image bounds < 1200x1200 are useless and should be removed I think.

I agree. The sample project should more closely approximate what users are likely to experience with their own images. Originals coming out of good DSLR's are usually at least 6000x4000 and those coming from most phones are in the 4000x3000 range.

Those undersized originals also cause problems if a user wants to experiment with large, fixed shape, HiDPI thumbnails, because of a longstanding jAlbum bug in the scaling routine. I ran into this again just last week, and was puzzled until I remembered the bug.

I'll consider this. The long term trend is to include higher and higher resolutions, but we also want to be careful with download size. Perhaps we should download these projects on-demand?

In that case you should publish an example album made with these high resolution images, as I did above and add in that album a Down load original images and project file button.

I also agree. The size of the sample pictures are way too small. And, David, would it really be a problem if the download package of jAlbum would increase? Or just remove some of the sample pictures. Just my 2 cents.
