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.

In reading another thread on MR, I've come up with an idea. I don't know if it will work or how well. Why not try an SVG wrapper for the images and see how that works? I'd be interested to know if it does work and if it works better even if not perfectly.
