I would be linking In Dreams as a public service! I would *hate* to miss seeing that stuff, and I am betting other fans still in love with Frodo would too.
As for widescreen vs. fullscreen, I do agree with you. I did a post once comparing the two, which was when I made the discovery that the widescreen version often became widescreen by cutting off the tops and bottoms of the original images. Fullscreen almost always produces better portraits.
But it's not that your widescreen caps are wide, it's that they're so gorgeously done. I do tweak all my caps individually, but to a rather modest degree. You do bolder things with the caps, which is why I think they come out like little art works in themselves.
I like having both. I always make manips, for instance, from my own screencaps precisely because they are not significantly altered (I'm usually just trying to make the images more visible on a computer monitor, sharpening and brightening), not ones that have already been notably photoshopped. But there's no getting around it that people who *do* make more changes to the original caps get some exquisite effects. So for me, I can't wait to see your next screencap/slideshow sets, *whatever* they are of.
