"Zoom" is correct in that it keeps the correct aspect but it's currently
broken as it shifts things to one side and crops everything from one

Some may argue that for composition this is hacky but it's our best
solution for now as long as disk space is an issue and we can't ship
multiple walls for various aspects.
