We all use imagecache for our thumbnail and image manipulation need. But after resizing (or other operations) the images might look a bit blurry.
What's the opposite of blurry? Yes: "sharp". So we need to put a sharpen filter on our images.
With the release of imagecache 2 came the ability to create your own addons/effects/filters to plug into imagecache. One of those plugins is imagecache_unsharp and this does exactly what we need.
So just put an unsharp mask filter after all your other manipulations and there are your better images.
Here's a preview:

I have notice that images scaled with imagecache are blurry. In fact it has nothing with imagecache but with GD image manipulation. Take a look here http://drupal.org/node/60368. Off course you can additionally sharpen image but when setting jpeg quality to 95% unsharp mask is not necessary. GD deafult quality is 75% so it creates very blurry images.
Hope this helps.
A must have module!
I can't wait until it becomes a parrt of the Drupal core next year with the realease of Drupal 7.
Er zit een sharpen/unsharpen standaard bij imagcache. Je kan die normaal gezien gebruiken. Ik heb dit wel niet getest.
Weet je toevallig een oplossing voor Drupal 6 ?
Welke mask heb je juist ingesteld hierboven?
