Fly-out / pop-up photo distortion / PTP 1.8

by tarheel360vr » Fri Apr 04, 2014 3:22 pm

Most fly-out images I set up display at the correct proportions. I use the percentage option (60% x 60% usually). But some images appear distorted (as if 60% x 40%, for instance).

Attached examples show one right, one wrong.

Any tips on how to prevent or correct this?

Many thanks.

This one displays at correct proportions.

Wrong proportions.

If your fly-out image dimensions are defined a percentage of the display size then you can never be certain that the aspect ratio will stay the same?

Choosing percentage display makes more sense to me. If I use pixel dimensions:

• I have to calculate the exact size to avoid distortions. Correct?

• It seems that pixel dimensions would not account for differences in monitor sizes; in other words, what looks "right size" on a 13-inch laptop might look small on a 27-inch display. Or this assumption incorrect?

Thanks very much for the guidance.

Correct.

Correct.

OTOH the image would never be distorted; nor pixellated on a very high res. display.
