I just imported an image into AutoCAD 2012 and I need to resize the height without the width being resized as well. I guess I could use a program like Photoshop to do it before importing but I was wondering if this could be done within AutoCAD.
View 1 RepliesI have imported an image into AutoCAD 2007 education version. The aspect ratio is a little wrong, so I would like to stretch it in one dimension. In another version of AutoCAD (LT 2008 ) I can simply right click on the picture to open the properties where there is an option to lock/unlock the aspect ratio. However, in this version there is no such option in the properties. It appears that by default the aspect ratio is locked, i.e. any stretch in the x direction is simultaneously copied in the y direction.
How to unlock the aspect ratio in this case? Is it because of the version I am using? Is it in another menu instead of properties? Is there a keyboard command to unlock aspect ratio?
To complicate matters a bit further, this is the Japanese version, however, I am fairly sure that is not the cause of the problem.
I have run into an aspect ratio (i.e., 1.25 vs. 1.33) issue for my images (using PhotoShop and/or Microsoft PhotoEditor):
I've created documentation for nearly ten years for an older type company using a CRT monitor. The monitor allowed me to use all resolutions when working with images without any screen degradation. Generally I used a resolution of 800 by 600 but would change, if necessary, due to the project. At this point, I've been given a new LCD monitor and am at the mercy of its native resolution (i.e., 1280 by 1024) even at a higher DPI. In other words, if I work with images and text other than its native resolution (i.e., highest resolution), their appearance is distorted and/or blurred. Since my documentation is image and/or graphics intensive, this is an issue for me to consider.
The first issue regarding this change came about this week. I was asked to revise a section of a manual I created awhile ago. Thus, I found myself saving images in a screen resolution of 1280 by 1024. The original document saved images in a screen resolution of 800 by 600. I feel I can get away with things if its only a few images. However, if I have to revise complete sections; I just don't think things look consistent. For one thing, I'm now using ClearType Font on the LCD monitor vs. the old CRT.
I would like to see if there is a way to somehow change an image saved in 1280 by 1024 screen resolution to 800 by 600 (with similar quality when revising documentation). If not, I think I'll inquire about using two monitors at my desk - using the CRT for revised documentation and LCD for new projects. Agree/Disagree with this scenario?
I'm trying to resize some images to a specific Aspect Ratio of 524x250. I was told to divide the height of a image by the width then you get a number and with that number you multiple it by the height then you put that resulting number into the canvas sizes width. It has been a while since I've done this brief calculation and it's not working for me, or I've wrote something down wrong. I'd also would like to create an action so photoshop could figure this out automaticlly, basically I'd like to know how to do it manually then how to create an action so it's done automatically ?

In CS4: For Canon, currently 4:3, how can I change aspect ratio to whatever in order to get 5 x 7 images?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a trial version of VS X4 (testing if suitable for our needs) and I am using an instant project that I downloaded in the extras. It was one large picture and then 4 pictures scrolling on the left hand side. I modified it so that I had a background on the main video track, the one large picture a mp4 video captured with Camtasia Studio 7, and three pictures scrolling on the left hand side.
I want to have a 4:3 aspect ratio, as these would be going on a website and need to match previous tutorial videos. The video I put in the overlay track is captured at 1024 x 768 and I have tried a variety of sizes of the back ground, (matching aspect ratio and not) and I cannot seem to find or create a suitable template to create a good quality (I.e. can still read the menus in the window of the screen capture mp4) video. I don't much care what the output type is, as long as it is supported by Camtasia Studio 7 since I render there to create a HTML script, to be used on the website.
When editing DV from my old mini dv camcorder, how can I get the final edit to fill the screen without the black side bars after puting on to a dvd and playing back on a 1080x1920 tv. does VS pro x4 have a setting to eliminate the black bars?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using VS Pro X3.
I have a .mov file in 16:9 ratio. I need to add a picture to the front of the movie so that this image appears in the player I am using when the movie is loaded and ready to play.
EVERY time I try to create the new movie, the movie aspect is reformatted and I get black bars across the top and bottom of my movie. I have been everything I can find in the program - using custom formats and defining the exact dimensions. I must have tried this over a dozen times looking for something stupid that I am missing but I can not figure this out.
The original file is quicktime (.mov) 960X540. If I play this file in my player (its a flash player) it plays clean in the 16:9 aspect with no black borders. I do not care whether the file is .mov, mp4, or flv. The player supports all of these (and a few more common types). This will be web hosted so I am concerned about file size. Step one for me is to get VS to create a movie file in the appropriate aspect ratio without black bars!!!
I have added some photos using the option "keep aspect ratio". However, when the project has been rendered to 16:9 it has stretched the photos. How can I force X2 to "keep aspect ratio"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with VideoStudio where it is not correctly detecting the aspect ratio of the video.
The video was created by HandBrake by converting a DVD to an MP4. VLC Player correctly detects the aspect ratio and displays it fine. VS doesn't.
In VS the video is coming up as 4:3 and so when played, it has black pillars on either side.
How can I get VS to interpret the aspect ratio correctly, or even override it?

I have VideoStudio ProX4 Ultimate.Purchased before Christmas but this first time I have used it. I created my project,changed the ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. Burned the project and when I played it I could tell it was not in the correct aspect ratio. I went back, opened the project, checked the ratio aspect and it was set at 4:3. I then opened settings and it was at 720x480 29.97 which should be right. After burning I found it was still in wrong ratio. I opened the created file in MediaInfo and it showed it was 16:9 720x480 29.97. Am I missing something? How do I change it to 4:3. I have version 14.2.0.23.

Why do I have to adjust pixel aspect ratio when opening a tiff file?
This didn't happen in photoshop 7.
I just joined and I'm a complete newbie at Photoshop, though I'm fairly interested in it.
I was wondering if it's possible to change the aspect ratio of a 5:4 (1600x1200) image to 16:10 (1680x1050) without stretching the image or contorting it.
I've tried resizing, but all that does is screw up the image and/or make it look all crappy.
i've got about 200 photographs i'll need to crop manually, and the finished files need to be in a 3x4 aspect ratio.
how would i make a resizable selection box that maintains this aspect ratio that i can use over and over again?
Since installing Photoshop CS2, whenever I open a file (.tiff), PS selects the incorrect aspect ratio (a custom ratio of 0.5, when in fact the file is meant to have an aspect ratio of 1.0).
1. Is the aspect ratio stored in the file as an attribute, or does Photoshop guess the ratio from some other attribute?
2. Can I force PS to open all files with an aspect ratio of 1.0?
In older versions of Photoshop the files opened correctly. When I open the .tiff in a text editor, I can't find any attribute named 'aspect ratio' or somesuch.
I'm running Photoshop CS2 (9) on XP pro. I have a bunch of tiffs made from scans of 36" x 48" documents. They all are coming in with a strange distortion. A box pops up: "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." I know how to turn it off, but I cannot afford the time to save 144 huge files. Can this default be reset? To reset this default to "square", I have tried everything short of deleting pixel aspect ratios. I never want anything but "square". What will it hurt to delete pixel aspect ratios?

how to select aspect ratio to crop in CS2.
I can only crop using size but not ratio like in ACR.
In Element I have no problem.
I'm using Photoshop since the Photoshop CS versions. However I'm quite unpleased to see the following since I installed Photoshop CS4 from my university (it's a legal version).
I can't seem to draw simple circle. (Yes, I pressed in the Shift button to draw perfect cirlces and squares) I get the following:
This is not a circle and my grid lines aren't even like squares they're more like rectangles. Now some details about my monitor. It is a 15,4 (if I'm correct) widescreen laptop, at the resolution of 1024 x 768. I didn't have this kind of problems with the CS3 version (which is also legal).
So I though let's check the pixel aspect ratio, however normally I set it on "square" and this problem will be fixed. Now if I set it on square I get something like that image I posted. So I tried removing the pixel aspect ratio correction, but it didn't help, because it is disabled on square.
CS2 and happy with it. Newly installed HP 22" widescreen. Getting to grips with Pix Aspect ratio for first time I have found out how to set a ppi value that produces accurate "print size" previews. However, I edit down from hundreds of sport pictures regularly and want to see an accurate ratio display - it affects the dynamic of the picture IMVHO.
There isn't time to go dragging sub menus around. I'm quite happy with less display space or to use the spare for menus but am finding Win Vista has ideas of its own about what's best for me. Upsum - I want all photos to display with accurate proportions (final use - print). Any advice on screen /photoshop set-up to achieve this would be welcome.
How do you determine the aspect ratio, in LR, of an existing image? I know how to change it, but don't see a way to determine it.
View 17 Replies View RelatedIn the Crop tool dailogue box, in general terms, what is the difference between ORIGINAL and AS SHOT aspect ratio. My understanding is, "ORIGINAL" is the imported image aspect ratio from a camera without any cropping being performed in LR. AS SHOT to me, means the same thing i.e. the image is "AS SHOT" from the camera.

My friend has never seen this dialog box on his Photoshop at home and does not know of any camera setting that would have caused this.

How do you turn off the pixel aspect ratio in CS6
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some questions related to the use of Photoshop for the preparation of images for projectors and presentations.
I've noticed lately that most presentations I seem to attend are presented with images in widescreen format (16:9). I have found some higher resolution projectors available in widescreen format but have some questions.
In case I create my slides with a size of 1920 x 1080, do I need to adjust anything in Photoshop for this ? Using basic mathematics I would imagine that no adjustments would be necessary. After all 1920 x 1080 amounts to a perfect relationship of 16:9. Is this correct ? Should I expect that images projected by a projector with this aspect ratio will contain square pixels and no adjustments are necessary in Photoshop ?
Is there any situation where a pixel is project as a rectangle instead of a square and adjustments to accomodate this need to be made in Photoshop ?
