Practically everyone crops their photographs when uploaded to Caedes, and occasionally in the past I've noticed that an image of mine has been slightly stretched or squeezed to fit 1680x1050 a popular wide screen ratio. I've found this slightly annoying as it distorts the original image, so recently I've tried to keep them uncropped at 1680x1260 or strictly cropped at 1680x1050.
Recently I saw a very nice photograph of . Pelicans Preening by flanno2610 it's largest download size is 3008x2000, and there is the more common size of 1680x1050 to choose from too. I chose to download the largest size of 3008x2000, and edited it in PhotoFiltre to my own personal preferences for a dt. Imagine my confusion when I finally downsized the image to 1680x???? instead of 1680x1050 showing 1680x1117 showed instead ! the height had risen 67 pixels.
Could someone please explain to us the rules of stretching, and squeezing artists uploads, and are they aware that not everyone wants these distortions to take place. In years past I was a tv repairman, and would often calibrate a crt tv on a test card signal, so I'm a bit of a stickler for standards.
