>2 Pixels off
You're really so lazy you can't use MS Paint to crop it a little? Especially when it's only TWO pixels?
Christ, dude.

there's no fixed ratio crop option in Paint so I do it in Photoshop and it makes no difference if its 2 pixels or 50, you either have to crop it or you dont
but who doesnt just make the fucking artwork square in the first place? I can understand if its one of those horrible digipack scans where the original isn’t square to begin with but how do you even end up with 700x698px artwork

I assume anon is talking about a very specific album.
"I Am a Bird Now" by Antony and the Johnsons
It uses a famous photograph called "Candy Darling on Her Deathbed" as the cover. She was a trans model that worked for Andy Warhol, which fits the concept of the album.

Yes. I'm agreeing with that. I'm more saying if that's so difficult for OP (for some reason) then googling a cover isn't rocket science.

sometimes album artwork isn't actually a square tho, and if you crop it to a square it fucks with the proportions. Pic related for example, making it a square would make the white borders outside the middle picture uneven

in these cases I still increase the canvas size to square it. with that specific cover I would then adjust the position of the picture to make the borders look right
I will not tolerate unsquare album art

So you went into a music store and stole a record or cd. What does that have to with the other shit? People like you should never go to discogs to grab a cover. It's appalling what some of the users upload. 100x100, flash obscuring half the cover, not in focus, etc.. That's some shit to get irritated about not 2 fucking pixels

The guy literally had an "explicit folder" with weird and suggesting names. Of course I asked him what the fuck was that and he banned me and unshared the folder. My guess is that the fucking idiot shared the folder by accident. Why would I risk myself downloading any of that shit... let alone typing them in the search box?

Why do you weirdos still use Soulseek in 2025?

We have private trackers, which are actually safe to use, and 97% of all music recorded in human history music is available on Spotify or Youtube Music
