Ok, here's something you could start playing with. Check out Slim::Utils::GDResizer. There are two parameters which can influence the image quality: the resizing algorithm and the JPG compression (for those formats saved as JPGs). Look for $im->resize and $im->as_jpg calls. Then check out the documentation for Image::Scale (http://search.cpan.org/~agrundma/Image-Scale-0.06/lib/Image/Scale.pm) and the underlying GraphicsMagick (should you decide to use a different algorithm). Easiest and quickest to test would be to change the quality param in as_jpeg. Default is 90. Changing the algorithm might require a bit more testing. Please let me know about your findings should you decide to investigate these options.
