You’ve heard the saying about fitting square pegs in round holes? It can be very apt when it comes to choosing images for our Photo Front covers, especially the 1/4 Photo Front, as this screen shot from PJ Remix indicates – only a slice from the image will fit on the cover.
Although I’ve used Photojunction to illustrate the problem, it solves the problem as well. In Photojunction simply drag the image you want to use on to the cover layout, as in the screen shot. If it won’t fit the space you’ll soon know: you'll need to choose a different cover style or find an image with a suitable aspect ratio.
Don’t forget the areas of the image shown semi-opaque will be concealed when they’re wrapped around the cover.
If you prefer to just send us an image instead of designing it yourself in Photojunction, make sure you choose something suitable. You’ll find the actual dimensions here.
In future if we receive images for 1/4 Photo Front covers that don’t fit the space, to avoid extra design charges we’ll automatically change the cover to the 1/2 cover style (we'll let you know, of course).
Finally, while we strongly recommend upgrading to PJ Remix, you can design album covers in Retro as well.
HTH, Ian
