Square (1:1 ratio) images
posted by ispangler20STAFFMOD on February 29, 2016 at 2:42 PM
Is it possible to obtain images in a 1:1 ratio for actors? What is the policy in regard to storing cropped versions on our server? Based on the terms of service, I am guessing this technically qualifies as "caching" copies of the images, but I just want to confirm. What is your best recommendation if our application requires square images?

Hi ispangler20,
Yes, if you have some custom size requirements I would say that's fine.

Thanks for the response. Since the application would have a mix of TMDB images and others, Would you suggest water-marking the images with a TMDB logo to differentiate them? Or is it better to simply add the disclaimer at the bottom of the site that "Some or most images" are from TMDB?

Adding a disclaimer type note would suffice. You don't need to worry about watermarking them.
Cheers.
