Post upload cropping would become a discouraged behavior if such a
feature were implemented. But I do see your point, ultimately it's the
uploaders responsibility to check where a file is used. One time I
had a picture of a firing xenon strob replaced with a video game
character.... (flash.gif DOH) :)
Ha. I hadn't seen that one. I think the photoimpact version is too
sharp, and I'd prefer something a little more in between. The folks
in the thread are off in space however... This problem has nothing to
do with our JPEG size (although I strongly believe that our jpeg
quality setting should be increased somewhat as well).
I've added another example, which is prepared with imagemagick (same
software as Mediawiki). It's the same file size as the Mediawiki jpeg
thumb, but it looks pretty much just like the png.
