Original Pixel Preview

Original pixel previews are PNG or JPEG previews of pixel based files in the resolution of the original file. They are used in the HTML5 client to display an asset in full size, e.g. in the detail view or in the image editor.

Image Magick parameters

Name of option Description Note

IMOriginalPixelAlpha

Defines how the alpha channel (transparency) of the source file is handled when the original pixel preview is generated. The available options correspond to the ImageMagick alpha options (e.g. 'deactivate' ignores the alpha channel, 'none' keeps it untouched, 'opaque' makes the image fully opaque).

  • Dropdown component (single select)

  • Default value: deactivate

  • The alpha channel is only evaluated for the file types listed in 'IMSupportedTransparencyFileTypes' (see Global Preview)

IMOriginalPixelQuality

Compression quality of the generated original pixel previews in percent. A higher value results in a better quality but a bigger file size of the preview.

  • Single stepper component, dimension '%'

  • Default value: 75

If no original pixel preview is available for a file, the coarse preview is used in the frontend instead.
