Hello K2ers,

I have noticed a number of K2 image questions, which I at one time also had. With trial & error, I discussed that you can remove the K2 image processing functionality, leaving the image you upload intact. So you can retain the image quality/compression of each image you upload to K2.

Find & comment out the following code for the image size you use as your main item image (e.g. Large):

File: administrator\components\com_k2\models\item.php

So that is looks like this (Large Image example):

//Large image
//$handle->image_resize = true;
//$handle->image_ratio_y = true;
//$handle->image_convert = 'jpg';
//$handle->jpeg_quality = $params->get('imagesQuality');

I hope you find this tip helpful.

Regards,

Joe Campbell

Hello,

I tested the letter your little tutorial and none of this works, the image does not appear even to upload commenting.

Regards.

Really waiting K2v3 which have ImageMagick option :)

Try removing the Item image options size(s) from the category.

Make sure to copy & save to place back if you need to.
