Hello! ![]()
I’m trying to understand why the gallery macro displays images in better quality than the image macro.
With the image macro, I need to take the screenshots with the browser window resized (using the Inspect Element) to match the width corresponding to the size parameter to avoid quality loss. But taking the screenshot in a width corresponding to the size parameter changes the page layout (most of the times) because of responsiveness. One problem is that this can confuse readers who compare the documentation with their own wiki (especially in another language) and expect the layout to match.
The gallery macro doesn’t have this issue: it doesn’t require a size parameter, and it fills the background around the image, keeping the quality and layout stable. So I want to understand why there is such a difference in image quality between the two macros.
I’m putting the examples directly in a wiki page to avoid taking screenshots of screenshots. Examples illustrating the cases: Quality of images using “Image” Macro vs “Gallery” Macro.
I’m looking for feedback and ideas on this topic. Thanks!
