Description

What problem does this address?

Sometimes, different images can handle different levels of compression and still look good within their context. An image that is used as a background with an overlay, for instance, can allow for heavier compression than, let's say, a product picture.

Additionally, the alternative of decreasing the image quality to the same level everywhere can result in mixed apperances; some images will look fine while others won't.

What is your proposed solution?

Be able to tweak the compression level on individual images via the cloud library, with the "default" or "current" compression level clearly indicated.

Will this feature require documentation? (Optional)

Yes, it requires documentation.

Research direction

Start in the WordPress dashboard's Cloud Library image controls and trace how the current or default compression level is represented. Done means an individual image can use a selected compression level, the default or current level is clearly shown, and the behavior is documented.
