Eachday

We’ve been wanting to get this rolled out to everybody for a long while.

The problem was, the software we were using to resize images degraded the photos every time the photo was rotated. JPG has lossy compression and every time you make a change and resave a JPG a little bit more of its detail is removed resulting in photos that are muddy and full of compression artifacts. We couldn’t give you the ability to rotate your photos until we could do so without uglifying your memories.

Recently, we changed the software that handles images (image_science is a small Ruby library that generates thumbnails) and we’ve extended it to provide for lossless rotation of JPGs.

You’ll be able to rotate your photos very soon. I’m sure your neck will thank us.
