what nobody thinks about, but it makes wordpress devs a criminal organization …
everywhere on the world, practically each country has its laws protecting intellectual property, well know as copyrights, or as symbol ©, and what they all say is that nobody should modify any image without specific consent of the copyright owner, which is the author … in some countries you can get prison time beyond a fine fine and indemnification to the author …
and that issue is critical, the modification I mean, because it means a lot to photographers and image artists, they sell quality and wordpress transform their images into garbage … so guys, get prepared for when the lawsuit wave hits you, it might be swallowing your assets
we can not, or better will not change the whole dangy wp thumbnail handling, at least not now, but we can prevent and minimize bad effects for the image owner, so we focus on quality in very first place
we cut out the standard wp image handler library, whatever it might be, and use our own which specific settings to provide highest image quality
then some performance freaks come out of their holes and cry, but 100% image quality is slow … ooh your dumb nuts, you put 50000 images in one folder and come out with that only to say something against our image quality philosophy? go back into your dangy holes and keep ai coding, because brains you don’t have
nevertheless, with our own wpHakka WebP Oracle integrated into wpHakka Commander, we can control the outcome and assure clever handling in order not to feel much performance loss, and if there is some, the result with beautiful crystal clear and sharp images pays all off
