Crop without losing context and preserve enough detail
Crop to remove unnecessary empty space, but leave enough margin to understand shape and proportions.
For close-ups, preserve enough context to identify the photographed area.
Avoid resizing or compressing images to the point where:
- serial numbers are no longer readable;
- scratches disappear;
- texture and wear become indistinct;
- panel text becomes unreadable.
Keep a high-quality original before any resizing for publication.
