        yes, except this is pretty much a done deliverable. :)

        I see that images are misaligned, let me tinker them into place.
      • 2022-10-23 29629, 2022

      • mayhem wants to have a sharp image for the board meeting tomorrow.

        Great! Just the ‘small’ matter of UI hah
      • 2022-10-23 29619, 2022

      • aerozol
        So for future features I still think it could be useful to do a digital composite, where people can adjust things more. But I’m getting ahead of myself

        aerozol: UI isn't important just yet. automated covers for stats are killer start!

      • mayhem
        there is one thing that is bugging me...
      • 2022-10-23 29611, 2022

      • mayhem
        on the rightmost vinyl cover, there is a white area that butts right up to the cover art.
      • 2022-10-23 29619, 2022

      • mayhem
        it makes the cover art look... bad.
      • 2022-10-23 29631, 2022

      • mayhem
        what is that white thing? could it be something else?
      • 2022-10-23 29609, 2022

      • mayhem notes that SVG's out of order rendering is quite cool
      • 2022-10-23 29633, 2022

        mayhem: perhaps the order of images, it seems to me last two images should be swapped
      • 2022-10-23 29641, 2022

      • mayhem
        totally plausible. swapped. will be out with next update.
      • 2022-10-23 29603, 2022

      • zas
        hmmm, there are more issues, when swapped another artifact appears
      • 2022-10-23 29624, 2022

      • aerozol
        Are these artifacts on the png layer? might be a me problem
      • 2022-10-23 29626, 2022

      • mayhem
        that change is not live yet. at least not on grid.lb.org
      • 2022-10-23 29636, 2022

      • mayhem
        aerozol: yes.
      • 2022-10-23 29639, 2022

      • aerozol
        The white thing up against the rightmost LP? The inner sleeve?
      • 2022-10-23 29648, 2022

      • mayhem
        zoom in and there is a white bit we could do without
      • 2022-10-23 29654, 2022

      • mayhem
        likely an inner sleeve, yes.
      • 2022-10-23 29617, 2022

      • aerozol
        I can shop it out if you want but will take a little bit
      • 2022-10-23 29657, 2022

      • mayhem
        yes, please.
      • 2022-10-23 29618, 2022

      • mayhem
        and also, is the leftmost album a true square?
      • 2022-10-23 29626, 2022

      • mayhem
      • 2022-10-23 29647, 2022

      • aerozol
        Not seeing the white artifacts:
      • 2022-10-23 29650, 2022

      • aerozol
      • 2022-10-23 29601, 2022

      • Leftmost
        I'm a true square, but can't speak for the album.
      • 2022-10-23 29652, 2022

      • aerozol
        I reckon square, but possibly a bit beat up?
      • 2022-10-23 29620, 2022

      • mayhem
        do you see the white strip on the left side of the rightmost album?
      • 2022-10-23 29623, 2022

      • aerozol
        Personally I think cutting a bit of the corners off the cover just makes it more realistic but
      • 2022-10-23 29629, 2022

      • aerozol
        Yeah I can remove that, that’s the inner sleeve
      • 2022-10-23 29642, 2022

      • mayhem
        yes, please. I find it quite distracting.
      • 2022-10-23 29640, 2022

      • mayhem
        I think in general, I need to zoom each of these covers out a bit to ensure that there no artifacts.
      • 2022-10-23 29604, 2022

      • monkey
        Looks great guys !
      • 2022-10-23 29623, 2022

      • mayhem
        :D
      • 2022-10-23 29637, 2022

      • monkey
        FWIW, I think the artifacts are because of the little bit of perspective deformation tapering the squares
      • 2022-10-23 29652, 2022

      • mayhem
        indeed they are.
      • 2022-10-23 29603, 2022

      • monkey
        But they're not very noticeable
      • 2022-10-23 29628, 2022

      • mayhem
        lets see if they remain a problem. hang on.
      • 2022-10-23 29628, 2022

      • mayhem
      • 2022-10-23 29606, 2022

      • mayhem
        but that is best I can do. unless we go as far as actually warping the image the same amount as the perspective shift...
      • 2022-10-23 29612, 2022

      • monkey
        3d transforms are not fun.
      • 2022-10-23 29619, 2022

      • mayhem
        screw that.
      • 2022-10-23 29632, 2022

      • monkey
        But maybe more doable with inkscape to get the transform values
      • 2022-10-23 29636, 2022

      • aerozol
        I’ll adjust the frame a bit more
      • 2022-10-23 29638, 2022

      • aerozol
        for now
      • 2022-10-23 29640, 2022

      • mayhem
        but making the squares true squares just moves the problem around.

        mayhem: I had good results using a clip-path before the rotation (well, it seems to be better)

        Let me know if you need me to square some of the frames, the bottom left is a bit of a doozy now that I look at it

        exactly. that one would be helpful

      • zas
        I like the idea btw, with a bit of tuning it can look good I think. I noticed problems due to rotation precision, clipping, and order
      • 2022-10-23 29612, 2022

      • mayhem
        yeah, it wasn't perfect.
      • 2022-10-23 29621, 2022

        it was literally a rough draft. :)
      • 2022-10-23 29631, 2022

      • 2022-10-23 29605, 2022

      • aerozol
        There are shadows under the LPs (you can see it on that one) but possibly too subtle
      • 2022-10-23 29621, 2022

      • aerozol
        subtle = realistic/exactly the same shadows from the photo

        what if we have the image of the table at the bottom most image.

      • mayhem
        and the backdrop of the coverart that is now white, is transparent.
      • 2022-10-23 29648, 2022

      • mayhem
        on theory it would look like a rectangular LP. which could be funny. could be horrible or totally escape notice.

        actually in the image above the main problem is that top border is somehow messed up, it could work if the actual result was a square (blue image, over white)

        we could fill album rect with that color, then render the cover over the background. it would appear that there are stripes of (possibly) complementary colors on the sides (or top/bottom). that would fix the problem and make the stripes appear as if intended.
