The format and proportions of a painting is obviously very important. For a very commercial item like a sleeve, it's probably less important, but still. Some sleeves were artistically designed with the LP format in mind, and they don't render well on CD. It could probably be an interesting idea to remove some small details, or, maybe, on the contrary, to zoom on a part of the original LP sleeve. For economic reasons, most of the time, the LP sleeve is reduced, and some details become unoticeable. I remember I read an article about an artist who is specialized in CD sleeves for classical music CDs. This artist takes into account the size, the jewel case, maybe the fact that the image can appear smaller on websites, etc.
Maybe the TB2 sleeve is an intelligent one: like TB, with less details. But it's a brand new album, and brand new sleeve, not a LP transferred to CD.
The remasters sleeves are stupid ones: poor scans of the original sleeve. When the sleeve is a photo with text above, they could at least have changed the fonts of unreadable text, and maybe use more modern fonts for the titles...
