For instance, for cases when some product has many front or other sides? Or for bottles?
Or even all sides on one picture and every side will be cropped from this common picture?
The main risk here is lowing quality because most apps for making collagea down the original quality of images and then the result has less quality. So the question is: should it be allowed or forbidden at all, and if allowed in which cases?
What would be the added value of doing so? Compared to having several pictures associated to a product?
For several front side images, it is the only one technical possible solution to add them together right now
Also: Which photo should be used for product photo when some product have more than 1 front sides?
For recycling instructions, it can be used in case when different elements of packaging have separate instructions that are credited in different parts of packaging instead of whole picture with many irrelevant information between them.
But I’m not for this practice. I prefer separate pictures for every side and it is not really comfortable to so in the app. I just recognized suddenly it is possible and someone can do that in future. So I decided it is better to ask about it and define project policy about collages
I think the expectation is that each photo shows one side of a product. So combining multiple sides of a product into one image is worse than uploading one photo per side because it breaks that expectation.
That said I sometimes unfold a box to take a single photo of all sides at once. But at least one can still see the folds and clearly identify all the sides and how they are located in relation to each other. The main advantage I see is: fewer photos to take, less storage and good enough quality as long as you don’t look at the horrible 400 pixels ultra-compressed preview images.
I understand and agree it breaks this expectation. I prefer to take pictures side by side too. My question is if this practice should be allowed and if so, then when.
Great idea! Never thought about that for some reason. I do that with candy wrappers, but didn’t think I can unpack boxes as well.
