Image Picker UI turns black in preview (works but becomes hard to see)

[Rozza]

Hi Dilon,
I recall the image picker uploads the full photo, then downloads the new file from the server, slightly compressed. This is cause of the ‘blackness’. It should just show the file before upload, no need to download from the server imo.

Thanks

Slow performance in Asia and with photos generally

On closer inspection… During the process of the component Image Picker it appears to go black when the image is uploaded, then flash reloads with the same image. I believe what is happening is the image is uploaded, then the same image is served from imgix, now compressed. So I am uploading a 2MB photo, to then immediately download a 600KB copy of the same photo. Can anybody on the forum confirm the same? I think this might be something that @Victor has experience in.
