Issues with image quality when converting image to php GDImage object-CodePudding

I'm currently trying to convert an image to PHP's gdImage object so that I can crop and resize it before displaying it on a site.

This is a simplified version of the php that to demo the issue.

$src_image = imagecreatefromjpeg('./original.jpg');
imagejpeg($src_image, './copy.jpg', 100);

which just converts to a php object and re writes it to a file

This is an example image that's losing it's quality https://s4.chorus-mk.thirdlight.com/file/24/VqvaOZDVqqaDrJ_VqtRlVzq4gcw/width=1140/height=1140/format=JPG/fit=stretch/crop=1228x0 4912x4912/rev=1/EV2021BPCP_RM_Members Bar_0112.jpg

Can anyone suggest a reason why this is happening?

CodePudding user response：

Your image contains an ICC colour profile. You can see that with ImageMagick using:

magick identify -verbose YOURIMAGE

or with exiftool like this:

exiftool YOURIMAGE

I recommend you use a library that will preserve the profile for you, such as ImageMagick or vips.
