There's nothing wrong with the pic but the problem is let's say u use Instagram to take a pic of pasta in a plate, the end result is the pic zoomed in on the pasta eliminating the plate

Pretty sure there's a button that can resize the image for you

Cause I've used clear coat few years back. And I applied it on myself. Clear coat is a film some kind quite close to plastics.1

Maybe clear coat has gotten better over the years?
