The worst part is the way it chooses to resize/stretch images.

Some are just ugly for example ecards are all screwed up. Others could seriously piss some people off. Quicky scrolling through my feed I saw two imagines that were originally of a female friend standing somewhere, taken in portrait orientation. On the new feed they appear as zoomed in "body shots" with the head and below the knees cut off.

This sort of thing is especially odd given their face recognition on every photo. Surely they could have it center over the faces.

Yeah that's pretty bad. Some in my feed are a meme pictures with writing on the top and bottom that make no sense because the words are cut off.

I like it. I think it gives a nice sense of layering of content and accentuates the photos.

That's intentional?!? I thought I just had a non-standard resolution or something. It really looks like crap.

Yeah I know, I thought so too. Look at the picture in their official blog post though, they're showing it off like they're proud of it.

Try attaching multiple photos to a post and you will see why the photos overflow (plus what has also been mentioned re: emphasis on photos)

I remember showing a coworker when that change came out. "Hey, look, the new FB app is pretty buggy."
