Django-imagekit: how to reduce image quality with a preprocessor_spec ?

Question

Hi, please excuse me for my ugly english :p

I've created this simple model class, with a Preprocessor to reduce my photos'quality (the photos'extension is .JPG):

from django.db import models
from imagekit.models import ImageModel
from imagekit.specs import ImageSpec
from imagekit import processors

class Preprocessor(ImageSpec):
    quality = 50
    processors = [processors.Format]

class Picture(ImageModel):
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='pictures')

    class IKOptions:
        preprocessor_spec = Preprocessor

The problem : pictures'quality are not reduced. :( Any idea to fix it ?

Thank you very much ;)

Answer 1

I just tried your example using the latest checkout from the django-imagekit project page and it worked just fine. I lowered the quality to 10 and the difference was obvious. Are you still having issues with this?

Answer 2

I too deployed the same scenario but the problem persists
