32 portraits
39 screen captures

I forgot to add 3 of the 32 portraits at first, so I put the last three after the
39 screen captures. Is there any way to rearrange these three images so they
follow after the other 29 portraits?

Not at this point, no. You'll have to delete and re-add.

Again, a bit of an overload on the 18 Betty Loh Tih portraits, should probably be taken down to 1 or 2 at the most...

While I see your point, this film is a real fashion show for her. She wears
9 hairstyles and 16 outfits in it. Part of the reason for all the changes is
that she plays two characters in the film, and she sometimes appears to
other characters while in the two guises in very quick succession.

A look through the images attributed to Betty Loh Tih show 4 photos each
for the films The Enchanting Shadow (1960), Bride Napping (1962), and
The Story of Sue San (1964), all cases where her characters do not change
their appearances much from scene to scene.

I'll lower the amount of portraits I upload from now on, but I'd like to be
able to keep half of the Darling, Stay at Home portrait pics online if I may,
because they're really nice and because 75% of the other portraits pics of
her on the IMDBd are from period films. I think this particular film is a
special case.

Then again, I am new at this. If "no more than four portraits per movie"
is a hardfast rule, that means the images at issue should be placed on
the page as rectangular screenshots rather than as relatively square
portraits if they are to appear on the page at all.

Since this widescreen film is cropped/pan and scan, the size difference
between rectangular and square is not all that pronounced, in this case.

Please let me know which is preferable:

(1) leave the 12 Betty Loh Ti portraits on the page (cut down from 18)
(2) have only 4 (or 2?) portraits, and reconfigure the rest so they're
ooonon-portrait screenshots
(3) have only 2 portraits, and reconfigure the rest as no more than 8
ooonon-portrait screenshots

Thanks.

My preference is #3, but I'm probably on the extreme end of the scale. This topic actually just came up in another thread here:

The ultimate decision as a rule will probably be up to the chief image editor, but your opinion and arguments are absolutely welcome.
You can certainly leave all the portraits as they are until that rule is made, and by no means should you have to delete any of them.

The key here is to not have an overabundance of portraits for one actor for one film unless there is some difference you are trying to depict.

Let me know if you have questions, and if ever in doubt, do NOT delete.
