It can be quite a challenge to graphically design a website or mobile application that displays images in very precise shapes and orientations. This can take the form of warping 2D pictures to have a 3D perspective, placing images in precise shapes or overlaying images in specific locations within another image, for example: overlaying an image over the screen of a smartphone.
Whether the desire is to display an image with 3D perspective, or fit an image into an irregular shape, such creativity normally comes with the large overhead of tweaking every image that needs to be displayed. If a website hosts a large number of images, or also wants to reshape user uploaded pictures, the challenge can quickly outweigh the reward or even become insurmountable.
