[Other issue]: School pages hero images are pixelated

[kdavis1924]

What is the issue you are reporting?

All school pages hero shots at the top are pixelated (elementary & middle school images are especially noticeable)

Unsure if problem can be solved without having someone manually acquire higher quality images.

@kdavis1924

The elementary and middle school hero (banner) images were borrowed from SFUSD's Directory of Schools. These images aren't the right resolution (or aspect ratio) for our purpose.

With our current design it might be best if we had two banner images, one for mobile and one for desktop. The aspect ratios between these formats is so different, its difficult (impossible) to keep the correct focus centered with a single image.

It might be possible using generative AI tools to upscale/crop the current images, though I suspect the results would be pretty poopy (and fake).

@mattgianni Thank you for the explanation! We can have a brainstorming session next meeting you're available to determine what exactly eng needs and how I can get it for you.
