currently when a <gallery> tag is used on a small image, it blows it up beyond a recognizable point (see URL). I've browsed through the code, but I can't figure out what's causing it. Ideally, the resizing in the gallery should only apply to images that are LARGER than 120x120, not all images. Smaller images should stay small and just be centered horizontally and vertically within the frame.
I've lost track of whether we're allegedly scaling up on purpose or not scaling up on purpose. cf bug 3499, from back when we didn't scale them up.
With r31473, I applied what is requested here. As the opposite (bug 3499) was turned down as WONTFIX, I thought this one should be FIXED.
Reverted by brion on r31477, because of causing fatal errors.

Brion, I can't reproduce the issue you mentioned when reverting r31473. Can you please provide more details?

If I understand correctly: * bug 3499 was a request to scale up small SVGs, because they're resizable without pixelation. * bug 13214 is a request *not* to scale up small bitmap images, because of the induced pixelation. Changing summary accordingly.
Is anybody working on this? I tried this at Commons today. Currently, all small images are scaled up in a <gallery>. As said before, for small SVG images this perfectly makes sense since (almost) all SVG images can be scaled up without pixelation. For small bitmap images (PNG, JPG and so on) this does not make sense. It looks horribly blurry in all current web browsers since all web browsers added bicubic interpolation to their current versions. Here is an example where (from my point of view) it's obvious this behavior is wrong: <gallery> File:Icon External Link.svg|SVG File:Icon External Link.png|PNG </gallery>
Small thumbs are still upscaled. http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles&sort=img_size&limit=50 Very disappointing cos it seems so easy to fix. [For the dumb search: Dont' enlarge upscale resize small smaller thumbs thumbnails images gallery]
