Haha. Sorry. I find it interesting. Surely some of you guys work with photos? We want to know all the tricks.

You would need to calculate the picture's aspect ratio. You can do this by getting the number of pixels, width vs height of picture. People have written quick java and python scripts to do this. But this is beyond the scope of my experience. It seems to me that, if you don't work with many photos, you could just figure this out in your head. You would need to get the pixels in properties or file information (windows 10 photos app) and calculate the ratio of width to height. I tried to do this just now by examining a whole bunch of pictures, and it dirned out that they all had a ratio of 1:1, which means they are square, and not portrait or landscape oriented. So, you'll just have to experiment. This isn't something I know a ton about but it's interesting. Maybe this page will help you: https://designshack.net/articles/layouts/understanding-and-working-with-aspe ct-ratio/ I think greater picture analysis ability would be a good feature to incorporate into screen-readers. Definitely on the right track with the new OCR stuff, but sometimes we, as blind folks, still want to work with pictures as pictures. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: February 5, 2018 4:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry That's a good question. I'm don't know that you can, without looking at it. To do so would seem to require a certain amount of artificial intelligence, and probably still wouldn't be 100% accurate. Anybody else want to contradict?. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Thanks. With JAWS, is there a way to determine whether a png photo is in the landscape or portrat position? -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry I think you're right. For MS word to use .png files, you'll have to go to "insert", "picture", "file", then make your selection, and insert it into your word document, if that's what you want to do. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Afternoon all. I have a logo, and it is opened as a png file. In my list of previously opened word docs, will this show up in the list? I am thinking not, as it is not a word file, but I have been wrong on more than one occasion. I am running JAWS 2018, Word 13 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.
