ebr 14912 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The web interface will try to keep the posters looking uniform. For example, movie posters from various sources are generally close to a 2:3 aspect ratio but not always exact. If we display every poster as-is then they'll all have slightly different heights, which to most people will look a little sloppy. (I realize this is highly subjective). So what the web interface will do is examine the aspect ratio of each poster individually, and if it thinks it's close enough to 2:3 then it will just stretch it so that every image on screen will look uniform. If it does not consider it close enough, then it will display as-is. Okay, so that is the answer to why the more radical rotation effect maintains the shape properly but the less radical one doesn't.

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm not trying to troll - just vocalizing a question I've had for a while. What is the reason for skewing/rotating artwork? Is there a benefit I'm not seeing, or is it just aesthetic preference? Purely personal preference. There's no accounting for taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xzener 729 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Do I need to create a Photoshop script/action to ensure all primary images are the exact same size or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee 204 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Do I need to create a Photoshop script/action to ensure all primary images are the exact same size or something??

CoverArt can do this for you. Just don't use any rotation and don't use the "Use Original Art Aspect" option and all your covers will be consistent (assuming a consistent treatment is chosen).

Xzener 729 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I've never had that option selected... We seem to keep going back and forth pointing fingers. Have we not come to a conclusion that the clients are at fault. Why, why, why are the devs stretching the treated image?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
