Pixel/byte size issue ?

[K,]

I’ve found info that GR has 3 different sizes, and I’m trying to find out more because I’ve noticed that some of Dreamscape’s audio covers look blurry against the other editions, possibly because they are wider than a book cover (?). I’m wondering whether this is a pixel issue, and what might be recommended?

See both audio CD http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...

there are others from Dreamscape I have noticed as well - it's not an issue when displaying the book record itself, though when looking at editions it's hard on the eyes :)

Thank you!

It looks like that's not a resolution issue; it's an odd-shape-getting-compressed issue. Here are the three images for one of them.

That's what I thought - any suggestions for how to possibly work around or address it?

In one or two covers I uploaded a much smaller byte-size, but would like to know what GR policy or recommendation is.

Thank you for such a fast response :)

You could fill in with whitespace to make it closer to standard bookcover proportions, but that will cause other issues in various views. GR doesn't handle non-standard cover dimension well, unfortunately.

Yogo (#1).
This book needs an updated cover, what pixel resolution do you require, high or low? Does this change also require a new ASIN?

We don't change existing covers. You need to click on "add a new edition" on the existing book page. Fill in the boxes, leaving the ASIN box empty. Use the NEW cover. Then add "Alternate cover edition of ASIN B00LCUP75S" to the top of the description.

The importer will do whatever it wants with your image so use an image that is at least 1000 pixels high if poss.
