I suspect that "Maintain aspect ratio"'s limiting axis may depend on the other selections, like say you don't know which will be hit first `100 col%` or `100 pheight%` for your image, so set both and when one is hit and the "Maintain aspect ratio" check is done it stops expanding. But this is only a suspicion / guess. -- Todd Denniston Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC Crane) Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter
