This isn't really a rant as such, just more of a puzzled observation. Why is that often the images that accompany an article on the newbury today website are either of a really low resolution and have been blown up so that they are all pixelated, or they have been resized wierdly so that the image is all stretched - like here:
http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article...articleID=15358 It's not as if it's a major thing to resize an image correctly. Strange, no? |

Resized, but failed to tick the 'constrain proportions' box. Beginners error with a photo management tool.
Either that or the subject are all strangely shaped? |

Resizing a photo and making sure it retains the aspect ratio is something that pretty much any home PC user who's ever rezised a digital photo knows about. So how come the NWN - a publisher - doesn't know about it? Or even, if the person who's job it is to add photos to articles doesn't know, someone in the office must want to point it out, surely? |

Either that or it was supplied to them like that by the event. Usually see it when done on a phone or compact camera in low resolution. The image quality is often so poor that you need to cheat the software to make it usable.
Or, it the office party today and the editor's drinks cabinet has been raided early. |

Image size 240px × 197px
The correct proportions should be 240 x 180 263 x 197 |

The link doesn't appear to work any more - it just goes to the home page.
