Have you noticed that WordPress creates small images that are a bit “fuzzy” – nothing like the nice sharp original you uploaded?

After resizing an image, the image must be sharpened but WordPress doesn’t do any sharpening, so the resized image remains a bit “fuzzy” – not what you want for a featured image or shared image on social sites! The WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors (WPSSO TIE) add-on provides this missing WordPress image sharpened feature – it automatically applies sharpening to all JPEG images resized by the WordPress ImageMagick library.

Compatible with all image compression / optimization plugins:

Image sharpening is applied during the WordPress resize operation so the resulting images can still be optimized with any compression / optimization plugin.

WPSSO TIE Add-on Features

Extends the features of the WPSSO Core plugin (required plugin).

Applies adjustments to resized images (aka thumbnails) using ImageMagick:

  • Enable or disable image adjustments / sharpening for resized images.
  • Uses a better compression quality of 92% (WordPress default is 82%).
  • Applies a default amount of sharpening values to all resized images.

Optionally select different primary / secondary image editor(s) for WordPress:

  • GD Only
  • GD and ImageMagick
  • ImageMagick Only
  • ImageMagick and GD (WordPress default)

Optionally fine-tune the image filter priority and image adjustment options:

  • Modify the default ‘image_make_intermediate_size’ filter hook priority.
  • Enable / disable contrast leveling.
  • Increase / decrease the compression quality percentage.
  • Adjust sharpening values individually (sigma, radius, amount, threshold).

WPSSO Core Required

WPSSO Tune WP Image Editors (WPSSO TIE) is an add-on for the WPSSO Core plugin, which creates extensive and complete structured data to present your content at its best for social sites and search results – no matter how URLs are shared, reshared, messaged, posted, embedded, or crawled.
