Automatically adjust aspect ratio Adjustment via image properties In the Properties window, under Position / Aspect ratio, you can make various settings to automatically adjust the aspect ratio of your photo to the aspect ratio of the project. |
The following options are available for an image or video:
|
Keep - The image keeps its aspect ratio. If it is different from that of the project, black borders will be displayed. |
|
Crop - the image is cropped at the edges so that it has the same aspect ratio as the project (the original file is not changed, only the display of the image in the project is cropped). |
|
Stretch - The image is compressed or stretched to fit the aspect ratio of the project. This is not suitable for images of people, as they may acquire an unnatural or unflattering figure. |
|
Center faces - the image is cropped at the edges so that it has the same aspect ratio as the project (the original file is not changed, only the display of the image is cropped). Faces are taken into account when cropping (face detection) so that they can be seen as completely as possible. |
You can use the Alignment buttons to influence the position of the image on the screen or to specify the area of the image to be cropped when "Crop" is selected. The center position corresponds to "Centered".
