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.
