Hi Mary,
Thank you for your interest in this new project.
You raise a point that has been very difficult for me to make.
I wanted the style to be able to display two pages (left and right) with landscape and portrait pictures in a 16:9 format screen, with size of pictures optimized to its maximum. More and more smartphones takes (good) photos in 16:9. I took this in consideration. Pictures format are very different : from 4:3 to 16:9 via 3:2
In this style, landscape pictures are displayed without beeing cropped. And portrait pictures have to be cropped to 8:9 (half of 16:9) because that's the proportion of the leaf I choose. It gives the ability to display 16:9 pictures in "full screen" (on both pages).
May be I was wrong but the 8:9 proportion seemed to be the best compromise.
If I understand correctly, you would like the leaf to be 3:2 ? If I would choose this format, the photo album would be very wide in order to display right and left pages in the 16:9 screen format, leaving a lot of unused space at top and bottom of the screen. And for portrait pictures, there would be large borders on the side.
In this case, the best option might be to display only one page at a time. What do you think ? Anyway, to be honest, I should rebuild my project half from scratch.
If there is a lot of requests for this, I would make an other style in the future.
But I have good news for you about the background pages. The style already give the option to choose your own background page for EACH picture.
Here are examples with black and white pages (with 3:2 pictures)
I will release the package with a lot of background pages. But of course, you will have the ability to choose or even create your own background pages with a photo editor (like Photoshop Elements), leaving a very wide place for personnalisation and creativity.
It's the same for the cover of the photo album and for the ground. A lot of textures will be included in the package but you will be able to choose your own.
This way, for the photo album cover, you can choose your own picture.
