[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Two questions:[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]1. Can anyone recommend best CS-Cart image/thumb settings (for detailed images in particular) to keep image size under control whilst maintaining quality? I've attached a screenshot of my current settings. Any improvement appreciated. [/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]2. To align with the above mentioned settings, using Xnconvert, I am resizing existing detailed images to 800x800 (fit) which should retain plenty of detail. I'll have to do this to logo files and variant images as well.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]I assume I should not have to resize thumbnails, as CS Cart will do this for me? If it doesn't do this, I will resize thumbs to 320x320 fit. I assume all the thumbs are in the same folder, hence I shouldn't go for 110x110 as this will shrink the images used for product detail pages.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]I'm a MVE user and some vendors tend to upload whatever they have… The means lots of 2MB DSLR pics. My image directory had blown out to 830MB excluding the 'backup' dir. The best one I found? A 7.3MB image that was inside a 320x320 thumbnail folder. [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Thanks,[/font][/color]
