Convert uploaded resource image into either JPEG or PNG format about respa HOT 6 CLOSED

What input file formats do we accept? Or, say, anything that ImageMagick could handle?

from respa.

Basically just the ones that Pillow handles. Photos should be JPEG, ground plans and maps should be PNG, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to enforce that.

Okiedoke. Should we store the original file too, though, for possible later (re)conversion?

I assume the use case here is that the images the API outputs are "web usable"?

from respa.

You can get the original image with the default image URL (such as here: http://api.hel.fi/respa/v1/resource/aurhijh62voa/).

You can request smaller images by appending ?dim=x to the image URL.

The issue description seems to imply that images should be converted to JPEG/PNG upon ingestion/upload though (meaning that the original data uploaded would be lost)?

Or did I misunderstand things there?

from respa.

Right. If the original image is not JPEG nor PNG, it should be converted. If it already is in either supported format, nothing should be done.

The cropping field contains user-specified information on how to crop the image into a square shape for thumbnails, but we're still undecided if we should support other aspect ratios than 1:1.
