Well, Wolfie:

There's low-resolution, which is one thing, and then there's images blown up beyond their intended size...and then there's both. The low-rez images just look blurry; the second look worse, and the third are really bad. I mean, fortunately, we tell our clients to give us very high-rezzed images to start, and then we work our way down from there; but this thing with the Voyage will, no doubt, cause us issues for a while, I suspect. I mean, it's not like I can say, "oh, ignore the little man behind the curtain in the corner" like we used to with (I forget what, now), because it's not an accurate representation; that's the problem-until Amazon fixes the bug, is IS an accurate representation.

One alternative would be to make every single image full-width sized-use some type of background for it..but sheesh, that would be fugly at best when it's in Night or Sepia, and it's crap bookmaking, to boot.
