thank you for the help, much appreciated. this will cause the border to look uneven however, isn't there a work around to this? also, it's not clear to me why 400 x 200 and 420 x 220 is not keeping aspect ratio? the vertical increases exactly the same amount of the horizontal....
>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. -- Mattia (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
