Hey all, first time posting around here so beat with me!
I’ve recently started using Forge for all my Foundry needs, but I’ve noticed that for some of my maps the Import Wizard makes them a much lower quality than what they actually are? Does this has something to do with the data tier of Game Master or something else entirely? Kinda bummed that some of my higher quality maps and art are now very piexelated.
Hi and welcome to the forums!
The import will always upload the original image to your assets library, which remains accessible to you in all its original resolution’s glory. However, the images are optimized for Foundry use which includes downscaling them for high resolution maps, in order to avoid potential issues for some players.
You can read more about The Forge’s image optimizer (and check the ‘Read More’ button too for details on the possible consequences of disabling the optimizer) here : The Image Optimizer
If you browse for the file in the scene configuration, you should see a “Disable optimization” checkbox at the bottom which would allow you to get the full high resolution image, but make sure you read the link about and understand what it means.
I hope that helps!
Do we still have the ability to disable the image optimizer? It stinks to work hard on a map only for it to be blurry.
The Image Optimizer is no longer in use.
EDIT: To clarify, our CDN still autmoatically serves images as .webp where possible, but the file quality and size of the image remains otherwise the same.
