## Beschreibung

Tired of having blurry lifeless WordPress images? This plugin sharpens resized JPG
image uploads and it works with ImageMagick so it keeps quality, EXIF information
and color profiles. It also maintains the crops and other image proportions.

Bonus: It enables you to have automatic contrast leveling too.

## FAQ

  Installationsanweisungen

 1. Upload `imagick-sharpen-resized-images.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Aktiviere das Plugin im Menü ‚Plugins‘ im WordPress Backend.
 3. In your WordPress Settings you’ll have a new admin entry: IM Sharpen Images.

Check https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins for more detailed
installation instructions.

  Are there any system requirements?

Your host needs to have the [imagick PHP module](http://pecl.php.net/package/imagick)
installed (and, of course, the [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org) program
itself).
 The imagick PHP module is NOT a WordPress plugin, but a module for PHP.
The plugin has a built-in check for this imagick PHP module.

If you don’t have the imagick PHP module installed you can still sharpen your images
by using the [Sharpen Resized Images](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sharpen-resized-images/)
plugin. It sharpens the images by using lower quality GD, so it strips EXIF data
and it strips color profiles.

  I don’t see any sharpening, why?

 * After you enable the plugin it will only sharpen new uploads. If you want to 
   sharpen your already uploaded images you will also need the [Regenerate Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
   plugin.
 * Make sure to have not only the PHP module but also the ImageMagick software installed
   on the server (most servers have it though).
 * Immer noch keine Unterschiede? Leere den Browser-Cache.
 * If you’re using Varnish cache or other server caches, empty them.
 * Schärfen funktioniert nur mit JPG-Dateien.

  How can I adjust the amount of sharpening?

I defined the for me optimal amount of sharpening. You can change it though by going
in your WordPress Admin Settings to the IM Sharpen Images entry. The default settings
are fine though (Radius 0, Sigma 0.5, Amount 1, Threshold 0). I defaulted the threshold
to 0 because personally I want to retain fine skin details in my photos. You can
change it to 0.05 for noisy images if it sharpens noise too much.

  How can I reset the plugin to the default values?

Just deactivate the plugin and (re)activate it. This will restore the default values.

### 󠀁[Superb plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/superb-plugin-328/)󠁿

 [narubi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/narubi/) 7. April 2021

Works well out of the box. I am using it with Shortpixel and Regenerate Thumbnails
Advanced, and the thumbnails now look super-clear, yet they are half the size of
the original blurry images. This is a must for every product review website.

My photos looks awesome again thanks to this. You should look into the settings 
being reset, if the plugin was disabled. That's the only downside I can think of.

Really sharpens image. Quality is not like into Photoshop, but default setting works
pretty fine.

This Plugin is fantastic! Such a shame that the imagick library is so rare in shared
hosting. Just installed everything on my XAMPP and your Plugin did a fantastic job.
Thanks a bunch for this masterpeace.

### 󠀁[Do not deactivate](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-deactivate/)󠁿

 [viktorhanacek](https://profiles.wordpress.org/viktorhanacek/) 5. Juni 2018

Reseting values by reactivating plugin is very, VERY bad idea and I believe it's
against all WordPress values and procedures. But to be honest it's very good plugin.
After this review I have to go figure out all the values again.
