@AMroczkowski this is the face detection issue I mentioned at standup.

Per this and the other ticket I think, face detection or no, we should limit the amount of scaling we do with lead images. To solve both, lets limit the scaling of lead images to 2x and then only top align if we do scale.

Lets try that and see a few test cases.
