I want to talk here about the aspect ratio of all the images we have.
As you can see in my other thread List for resolution in respect to the aspect ratio for covers, posters, trailer..., there is not really an aspect ratio. Sure there are aspect ratios, but we have a lot of them.
So if i have a Poster for one Movie that is "One sheet" and for another Movie just "Double crown" they have different sizes. Or a DVD cover and a HD-DVD cover they are also different.
As i see it in the moment they are all stretched to fit the skin. So the only way is most of the time to be satisfied with a stretched poster/cover, or to crop it to the aspect ratio the skin uses.
I think a better way would be to set just the hight or widh to a maximum.
Here we have a HD-DVD/Blu-ray (933 x 1080), a Fanart cover (720 x 1080) and a Video-DVD (755 x 1080)
If we set just the max hight they look like they have to.
That means in the info-screen the strip that separates the Cover from the text needs to be flexible.
The other thing i ask me, myself and i, is the hight for moviegenre-pictures, musicgenre-pictures and
TV Show Thumbs. Lets look at the ones from asphinx. They are 1000px hight.
How big do other people think will we ever show this pictures?
