If the original image is smaller, this can result in low quality preview images. To prevent image upscaling for images under 500x700 select the configuration option present at 500 x 700 pixels, go to Administration > Islandora > Solution pack configuration > Basic Image Solution Pack (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/basic_image) .and uncheck the box labeled "Upscale images for MEDIUM_SIZE derivatives?"
