I've done some additional tweaks to the print layouts and full-screen layouts of the reports. This partially stems from reducing the size of the Camera Rig field to a single line (which is now a drop-down field). Before it was a rather large text box, which was pretty un-necessary.

This allowed us to increase the number of pictures thumbnails to three from 1, and generally tidied things up quite a bit.

I included the original for comparison.

Let me know what you think?

Sam.

Honestly, I think the original was slightly easier to consume. The long horizontal line of camera info is pretty easy to read and the overall flow seems slightly smoother to me. There is something also clear about the first image being a bit larger and on the left where the eye starts that helps to document it nicely. It's also possible that I've just gotten used to the original layout so I'm having trouble finding the flow in the new one, but that's my input.

There are still a number of "tiny" things on the original layout that could use some attention like the sizes of the various boxes that are almost matches, and the way some of the labels overlap the boxes. Those items would be my suggestion to tweak rather than work further on the 2 image layout.

However, just my vote.

The switch-around came from a desire to try to add more photos, and keep them together.

Here is a tidied up version of the original with some small thumbnails in the space, I'm also attaching a separate PDF of the
photos which will be exported as part of the PDF export.

My inclination is that we may find use for that space with other possible future fields. So we can leave the smaller thumbnails in for
now, until we find something better to put there.

Let me know if that's an improvement.

Sam.

Sorry, that was the wrong attachment...

Here is the right one for the camera-report, the photo-sample was correct.

I think this is looking great.
