ADULTS ONLY

I always give my mags a last look-see in two-page mode before releasing them to make sure everything is up to snuff.  I don't know why, but it really struck me how I hope everyone else takes the occasion to do the same thing at least once, using a CBR reader that was actually MADE for CBRs, not some P.O.S. PDF reader like Sumatra that inserts a break between facing pages.  Something about the big characters in the two-page ads filling up the entire screen just looks really nice, but not when a page break dispels the illusion (created through hard work in the editing stage) that you're looking at a single image.

This is how mags should look on your screen.  One image.  Not two halves of a whole.  (These are just screenshots of my 1080 monitor display - the colored side borders are automatically created by my CBR reader based on the color profile of the adjacent image, in case anyone is wondering)
