Poor image quality when uploading an image with Rise
Hello,
I created and saved-for-web a .png image in Photoshop. When I uploaded it with Rise (as a centered image in my blocks-lesson), it converted it with poor quality. Is it possible to avoid tho...
Hi everyone!
Do you have an image that looks blurry in Rise 360? We've designed a workaround to keep your images looking crystal clear.
If you'd like an image to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind that the 5GB file size limit still applies, and you could see an increase in your output file size.
For all those experiencing this problem I found a straight forward workaround that's very easy and will give you 100% full quality image resolution without any loss at all.
Whether you save for scorm or tin can or web the zipped files that are produced contain:
If saved for scorm a folder named: scormcontent > assets
In this folder are all the images you used in your course simply find the image that was loosing quality and replace it with the original image - be sure to name it with the same name as the one your replacing. Simple as that.
If save for web, go into: content > assets
In this folder pretty much do the same as the above direction.
Quick update to the above post:
Make sure to use a (.jpg) extension for the new image which you paste in the folder. This is the extension that gets written in the final files. If you use an image that happens to be a (.png) for example it won't take it and the image will look broken or missing even though you named it the exact name and that's because in the code RISE writes a (.jpg) extension.

Love it, Daniel! Great idea, thank you!
Hopefuly the Articulate team will solve this issue from the very beginning, to avoid this (brilliant!) extra step in future :) It's a pity that the images created purposefully in PNG format are converted to JPG without an option for us to control the fact of the conversion or its quality.
