I can get it so the image top left corner is in the center but I don't want that. I want it so the center of the image is in the center. The screen size will never change from 2560 x 1440 if that helps.

picture = pygame.image.load(images[i])
picture_rect = picture.get_rect(center = main_surface.get_rect().center)
size = picture.get_size()
scale = aspect_scale(size)
picture = pygame.transform.scale(picture,(scale))
main_surface.blit(picture, (picture_rect.center))
pygame.display.update()

Change the line: `main_surface.blit(picture, picture_rect)` – Malik Brahimi Dec 01 '15 at 23:10
That way you're rendering at the rectangle as whole. Not placing it's corner in the center. – Malik Brahimi Dec 01 '15 at 23:11
@Malik Brahimi Unfortunately that doesn't work. It moves all the way to the left. – OultimoCoder Dec 01 '15 at 23:19
Can you show the full code? I think we're missing something here. – Malik Brahimi Dec 01 '15 at 23:20
@Malik Brahimi Yep we are! Its me being stupid. I am centering the image then scaling it so it moves off center. I have now fixed it. thank you! – OultimoCoder Dec 01 '15 at 23:23
