That's what I'm saying. Authors *can* ensure that, within a particular breakpoint, their multi-res images all have the same ratio. It's a good idea, since the *intention* is that the multi-res versions are all exact same image, just at different resolutions. If you don't do that, you get unpredictable results, but you asked for that. If you *do* do that, then you know what your aspect ratio will be, and you can predict which breakpoint will be chosen and pair that with MQs to adjust the rest of your layout. ~TJ
