This looks way more blurry than it should. I've purged the cache. Before that the thumbnail was nothing but a single horizontal black line. There was a sharp thumbnail somewhere in the cache (for 140px I think) but that's gone now. May indicate a regression of some sort.

Testing locally (ImageMagick 7.0.10-58 Q16 x86_64 2021-01-16; libjpeg-turbo 2.0.6-1), this appears to be an issue with chroma subsampling.

$ convert -define tiff:exif-properties=no -define jpeg:size=224x240 -resize 112x120^ -gravity center -extent 112x120 -quality 87 -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -interlace Plane Smileyface.jpg 112px-Smileyface.jpg

Our chroma subsampling configuration hasn't changed since at least 2016, and this occurs with the latest ImageMagick. Besides, this is a black-and-white image, so chrominance shouldn't even be a factor.

Turns out this image uses the CMYK colorspace, and chroma-subsampling doesn't work in CMYK. ImageMagick is supposed to ignore it for CMYK images. If the image was transformed to YCCK, then subsampled, that would also be OK. The original file does contain a subsampling-factor property, which seems to be ignored properly when we don't set the CLI param.

I'm not sure if this is more of a "we shouldn't ask ImageMagick to do something stupid" or a "ImageMagick shouldn't do stupid things even if we ask" problem.

Our chroma subsampling configuration hasn't changed since at least 2016, and this occurs with the latest ImageMagick. Besides, this is a black-and-white image, so chrominance shouldn't even be a factor.

So you could test for "Colorspace: CMYK" and disable the sampling-factor argument if found?

That is, essentially, how I would fix it on the Thumbor end, if ImageMagick is working as expected. It would make sense to ask them if this is expected behavior first.

How/where can this be done?

This file uses APP14 marker's ColorTranform set to 0, which means RGB for 3 components and CMYK for 4 components. That is a common problem. This file has ColorTranform 2 which is YCCK. See thumbnail, that is broken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Channel_digital_image_CMYK_color.jpg

ColorTransform 1 is YCbCr.

AntiCompositeNumber mentioned this in T284268: Content of some TIFF files blend together in file history.Jun 6 2021, 3:15 AM

AntiCompositeNumber merged a task: T284268: Content of some TIFF files blend together in file history.

AntiCompositeNumber added subscribers: Jonteemil, JoKalliauer.

@AntiCompositeNumber @AlexisJazz Maybe the title should be updated since also TIFF files evidently are affected? I think you guys would pinpoint it better than me though.

In lack of response I did my best instead.

AntiCompositeNumber moved this task from Backlog to Thumbnail quality on the Thumbor board.Oct 28 2021, 3:24 AM
