This is probably common knowledge to most, but I missed it. I want to rescale an Image to fit my Toaster screen (752 x 480). When some images are rescaled to that size they come out oblongish and just not good. How can I type in 752 for x and have y automatically adjust to the correct size? I've been working with my amiga for years and didn't even know this was a possibility until I used Photoshop at work. Steve Thompson –> AutoPilot

Steve, in the Stretch Clip requester, enter 752 in "X Dimension" and press Return. The "Horizontal scale" slider will change to a certain value; adjust "Vertical scale" to the same value, and click OK. By the way, I don't have a Toaster, so I have no idea whether the Toaster software will complain if it sees an image which is not exactly 752 x 480; you may have to use Process/Clipping/Pad Canvas to add black areas at the top & bottom of your image in order to make it come out to 480 pixels tall.

Steve, There are two issue to be dealt with here: Size, and aspect ratio. Size is easy… process/clip has all the tools you'll need. Aspect is set in the buffers panel; you'll want to set the aspect to NTSC/LACE after the rescale, most likely. –Ben …via AutoPilot
