I ve uploaded some images to the website through couch and the images are very blurry-not clear at all...I made clonable pages to go to the list...The image quality is horrible....I am still learning couch so its possible I ve done something wrong.Can you tell me the best way to upload the images and code for best quality?

Hi,

Setting 'quality' parameter to '100' usually provides acceptable image quality.
From what I can see from the code you posted, you have already done that.

A probable reason for the 'horrible' blurring could be this -
The definition of the image editable-region limit the dimensions to 228px X182px so any image getting uploaded to this region will never exceed those dimensions.

However, the screenshot of the image you posted (assuming it is not blown-up) show its dimension as 570px X 458px.

So you are probably showing a 228px X182px image after magnifying it more than twice!

Please confirm this by right-clicking the image and opening it in a new tab of your browser to see it in its original size. In all probability, it'll be much smaller than what appears on the page.

If that is indeed the problem, you'll have to revise the image's dimension (don't forget to persist the change by visiting the template as super-admin), You'll have to put in a new image to check if it works.

Hope it helps.
Lol sorry KK still in my learning phase.Ive adjusted my sizing for the images to upload...
Im running my page as a clonable to add news content to the list page...Is it possible to have the image as a thumbnail on lets say-blog_list. and full size on blog single.

Sure. Define a separate editable region type 'thumbnail' and attach it to your original 'image' region. Every time the image region changes, Couch will create an updated thumbnail for you.

Please see the following for details -

As an aside, using thumbnails has been covered in our introductory tutorial (http://www.couchcms.com/docs/tutorials/portfolio-site/). I do hope you did not choose to skip the tutorial :)
Thank you KK and for the quick responses to a serious noob here lol..I ll get it soon
