OMG, you people just never listen -

Oh wait, somebody already used that line (it was a joke, wasn't it?).

That's a pretty comprehensive solution, it has to be said. The "artist preference" aspect tends to indicate more than just listening - there's actual creative thinking going on. At first it all seemed rather over-complicated. After all, the easiest solution (the one I was expecting) would be a straight "resized or full" option for the viewer. But giving the artist the choice of how her/his work appears on the presentation page, and the viewer the option of seeing the work on that page as the artist intended - well that's just leading edge gallery design - with art pulling.

You should never say never, but I doubt there's another online gallery offering that.

Once again, the wonderful, shambolic interaction between Renderosity and its membership has brought forth a hybrid flower that's prettier than anyone was expecting. It's easy to sneer and take the piss out of Rendo (hell, I do - I like an easy life); but there's still something about the place that makes it the place.
