3 Resizing Image Frames
Overview
This section explains how to change image frame sizing modes and the difference between FIT and MAX displays.
- Topics covered: changing the first frame to FIT, changing the second frame to MAX, and how each mode behaves.
- Use FIT to preserve the entire image without distortion; use MAX to fill the frame fully.
Apply FIT to the First Frame
This section shows the steps to set the first image frame to the FIT display mode.
- Select the first image frame you want to modify.
- Set the frame's display mode to FIT.
- Verify the image is scaled to the maximum possible size within the frame while preserving aspect ratio and without distortion.
Apply MAX to the Second Frame
This section shows the steps to set the second image frame to the MAX display mode.
- Select the second image frame you want to modify.
- Set the frame's display mode to MAX.
- Verify the image fills the frame completely, which may crop parts of the image to maintain fill.
FIT vs MAX Behavior
This section summarizes the key difference between FIT and MAX display modes.
- FIT: Scales the image so the entire image is visible; preserves aspect ratio; does not distort; may leave empty space in the frame.
- MAX: Scales the image to fill the frame completely; preserves aspect ratio but may crop the image to eliminate empty space.
