I am working on abbotcoffee.co on the Dawn Theme. pass showmp

For some reason all the photos on the Featured Collection appear blurry, until you click on them and go to the individual product pages. Then the image becomes sharp. It makes it look like the images are super low res on the homepage, when in actuality, it’s the same image file and should appear sharp. Any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Please see screenshots to see what I am talking about. Individual product page is sharp and home page carousel is blurry.

You’re kind of a condescending clown. It’s a known issue on ALL Shopify themes. But thanks for the hot tip to be professional, when you have no idea who I am or my skill set. :joy:
