FICTIONAL EXAMPLE: A REFILLABLE-BOTTLE PRODUCT POST

All product details, file names and dimensions below are invented for explanation. These are not images inspected in the Amazon Berkeley Objects archive. No actual campaign, permission check, visual approval or performance result is represented.

BRIEF
A fictional bottle brand wants a portrait post introducing the full product. It must show the bottle cap, base and identifying label. The example assumes access to the brand's approved original gallery; the person using the files must verify actual permissions.

Chosen canvas: 1,080 pixels wide x 1,350 pixels high.
Chosen treatment: proportional fill, with possible cropping and no enlargement.
No rotation, padding or generated expansion is used in this calculation.

CANDIDATE 1: bottle-main.jpg
Role: main product image.
Original dimensions: 900 x 1,200 pixels.
Width ratio: 1,080 / 900 = 1.2.
Height ratio: 1,350 / 1,200 = 1.125.
Required scale: max(1.2, 1.125) = 1.2.
Resized dimensions: 1,080 x 1,440 pixels.
Total crop: 0 horizontal pixels and 90 vertical pixels.
Dimension result: fails the chosen no-enlargement condition because the scale exceeds 1.
Next step: inspect another approved original. This result does not decide whether enlargement would be acceptable for a different brief.

CANDIDATE 2: bottle-alternative.jpg
Role: secondary image.
Original dimensions: 1,800 x 2,400 pixels.
Width ratio: 1,080 / 1,800 = 0.6.
Height ratio: 1,350 / 2,400 = 0.5625.
Required scale: max(0.6, 0.5625) = 0.6.
Resized dimensions: 1,080 x 1,440 pixels.
Total crop: 0 horizontal pixels and 90 vertical pixels.
If centered: remove 45 resized pixels from the top and 45 from the bottom.
Dimension result: passes the chosen no-enlargement condition.
Visual result: not established by the calculation. Open the actual file and inspect the cap, base, label and intended text in the proposed crop.

CANDIDATE 3: bottle-landscape.jpg
Role: another secondary image.
Original dimensions: 2,000 x 1,000 pixels.
Width ratio: 1,080 / 2,000 = 0.54.
Height ratio: 1,350 / 1,000 = 1.35.
Required scale: max(0.54, 1.35) = 1.35.
Resized dimensions: 2,700 x 1,350 pixels.
Total crop: 1,620 horizontal pixels and 0 vertical pixels.
Dimension result: fails the chosen no-enlargement condition. A longer horizontal edge does not compensate for insufficient height in this portrait layout.

HYPOTHETICAL COMPOSITION DECISION
Suppose the centered crop of candidate 2 would remove the lower edge of the label. Reject that crop, despite its passing dimensions. Try a different crop position and inspect it. Approve only if the actual product, message and necessary details remain correct and the exported result passes the brand's review.

If no reviewed candidate works, the material request can be specific: an approved full-bottle view with enough room above and below for the chosen portrait layout. A different layout is another possible creative decision. This example does not rank costs or predict marketing results.
