#Aspect ratio problems
3 messages in this thread
Solved the aspect ratio problem when rendering out to high resolution slides.
The key to the problem was using a 1.33 image aspect ratio and rendering with
the pixel size set to 1.0. Though everything is working fine I don't understand
exactly why since the aspect ratio of a 35mm slide is wider than 4/3. But
thanks to John Jordan, Kevin Drell, Alan Iglesias and David Mennenoh my circles
look like circles instead of water balloons.

Kenneth,
No, the aspect ratio on a slide is NOT 4/3, just the total image height
& width. What you need to be concerned is are the shape of the dots on the
white phosphor monitor within the film recorder, used to produce the image in
the film recorder, recording onto a 35mm camera back. The dots are square
(well, maybe round, but the point is that the height and width are equal). On
frame buffers used for video recording, such as the Truevision Targa+ @
512×486, the dots (pixels) are wider than they are high (at least if
overscanning for full-width video).

Kevin,
Thanks for your help. I think I get it now. The 4:3 image is centered in the
3:2 frame leaving a border left and right.
