I use the Imagecropper to generete thumbs for galleries.
I think the quality on the cropped images are very poor. When I upload a 72 dpi image to MEDIA and crop the image its suddenly transformed to a 96 dpi image with a poor quality.
I have tried to set quality to 100 on the datatype, but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
This might be a stupid question, but do you have a width and a height set in the HTML/CSS for these images? If they are not the correct width and height then it will definitely look ugly.
I don't have this problem with my crops, maybe you have an example we could look at?
but it's on the image properties I see this - so it's not a question on how it's transformed by html.
Try to make a crop and download the image from the ftp /media. Open the image in photoshop and check if the resolution is changed from 72 dpi to 96 dpi. (Image // image size)
I see, I don't actually know how this is done as the cropper seems to be closed source. You might want to look into the excellent ImageGen for a little more control, but you won't get the WYSIWYG cropping area in the backoffice. Other than that, let's hope Kenneth can help you out. You could give him a nudge on Twitter in case he missed this thread.

Have anyone seen this also ?

Sebastian - not stupid at all!
