In some cases images were sharpened twice. This could result in unwanted image artifacts. Now the sharpening of images is only applied once after scaling which results in better quality of images.

Upgrade Steps The method TransformImageService#getTransformationOperations(Content content, String property) had to been changed to prevent the over-sharpening. If a transformation is not defined in the content itself, the method only returns the crop operations from the Responsive Image Settings . Sharpening only applies if an image is actually scaled.

You can still access the transformation including all other operations by requesting it through TransformImageService#getTransformation(Content media, String transformName) .
