I’m using Exhibeo 1.04 with Freeway Pro 6.0.8 and some fairly high quality images (4928 x 3264, 300 pixel), but for some reason al of my exported images seem blurry.

Okay, I must be doing something wrong because I just checked out the Exhibeo product page and Softpress’s images are a LOT cleaner.
That indicates tome that there must be a trick to improving image quality with Exhibeo.

One trick I know of is to make your originals fairly close in size (just a little larger) than Exhibeo will use them in its final layout before importing them into your document. If your originals have to be scaled down a lot (high megapixel camera originals, say) then there is a natural softening that comes from oversampling using bilinear interpolation. Photoshop does a much better job of this than Freeway or Exhibeo, because it uses a much more expensive (in terms of processor time) interpolation technique to calculate the new pixels out of the old.

Thanks Walter. The only problem is I don’t know the image size Exhibeo is producing. There doesn’t seem to be very many controls in the app. Plus, I think the size will grow and shrink depending on the device and/or monitor size.

From Joe Billings in a previous thread:
For best results in Focus and Bloxx, import landscape images that are at least 1024px wide or portraits that are at least 1024px high. The reason for this is that the theme will export your images images at that size.

Thanks Caleb. That’s good to know. Does the imported pixel resolution matter?

I would imagine that the images should be set at 72dpi, which is the web and computer standard.

Caleb, do you know if it’s possible to use your own icon to trigger an Exhibeo gallery versus the supplied thumbnail?

Yes, but to answer your question in detail, ppi doesn’t matter at all on the Web. Pixels are pixels, no matter what the image header claims the pixel density should be. The total number of pixels divided by 72 is how large it will appear on a 72ppi screen, and for CSS calculations, 72px will appear the same as any other definition of 1 inch. But Exhibeo may be using the Freeway graphics engine, which does care about ppi unless you tell it otherwise. I haven’t experimented enough to tell you for sure. Best to put things at 72ppi and fit to a 1024px box.

You can’t do that yet. Hopefully, now that Softpress is mostly done with Freeway 6 (according to their FB page), we will see them start implementing our suggestions into Exhibeo.
Thanks for the information Walter, you’re a gem.

Glad I found this. I didn’t realize that Exhibeo limits the size to 1024 pixel size box. Even 16:9 photos?
