I was led here by your Squinge's
Grilled Cheese replacement, a great improvement! I particularly like
Mystery and Melancholy of a Street. Thank you!
Yes, it can be frustrating the lack of care that some folks take with their picture conversions. My pet peeve is that many do not notice that you cannot use the whole surface area of
Olive Peynter's City Skyscape, because if you do then you run into a severe cropping problem. I made up a kit with intructions for the correct size and positioning
here, but even when I mention that a significant portion of a poster's text is missing and could be corrected I am typically met with a stony silence!
I can't say I have ever had to do more than the most trivial amount of stretching or squashing. It is usually much better to use a dark fill to make up the difference in converting a painting to the nearest available and appropriate aspect ratio.
