If you add the same number of pixels to both the width and the height the aspect ratio will change UNLESS the image is square (height = width) - this is a simple consequence of basic arithmetic. If you want the aspect ratio to be unaltered you will need to add more pixels on the shortest sides of the image than you do on the longest sides - how may more being determined by the aspect ratio of the original image. For example if the image was 400 x 200 pixels adding a 10 pixel border to all sides would give 420 x 220 - which alters the aspect ratio. Adding 10 pixels each side and 5 pixels top and bottom gives 420 x 210 which preserves the aspect ratio. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
