Progressive JPEG Support

[ghost]

I ran into a small aesthetic issue, I was wondering if it was possible to add support for progressive jpeg output.

I'm using a lazyloading image pattern that uses a super condensed version of the image with a blur effect on it, and then loads into the actual image.
Using pthumb has been working great for that, except that all of my progressive jpegs get turned into regular jpegs. The loading effect of the whole image loading like a printed ruins the whole effect.

Doing a small amount of research it looks like Imagine found a way to implement this here, I'm not well versed in PHP, so I wasn't really able to understand what exactly was going on in there.

Is this something that is possible to add?

Currently working on an update to Resizer. Should work with the 0.7.1 version of Imagine. What is your availability to help test? Thanks !

[ghost]

Oh nice! I don't have any projects currently that I can do testing on, but depending on when the test build is available, I might be able to use it later this month?

A new version of Resizer has been released that should handle this issue, if the Imagine library does what it says in the changelog.

great! Does that make it available to pthumb output filter/snippet, or will I have to make my own output filter?

Update Resizer in Extras :)

I updated it as soon as I saw the email this morning :), I guess my question was more if I use [[*image:pthumb=^options^]] will there be an option there to take advantage of the interlacing? I skimmed through the options for Resizer and could find anything similar, I can also move this over to the resizer repo

[sepiariver]

Oh darn I didn’t realize it had to be exposed as an option. I’ve yet to even touch pThumb at all. My approach was to try to modernize the lower layers first.

[ghost]

Oh no worries! I seriously appreciate the modernization focus though

[sepiariver]

Despite what it says in the blog post, I’m currently working on getting Reductionist to Imagine 1.2.2 (found an approach that seems to work). Then will work back up the chain through Resizer to pThumb.

Cool! Can't wait to see the outcome. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into this project :)
