· By 'grabbing' a corner you can scale the image.
The image will scale
symmetrically
around
the centre point. So,
having decided to make
a show in 16:9 format so
that you can show it on
your wide screen TV,
you can now scale and
crop all your 3:2 images,
straight from the
camera, so that they fill
the screen.
· To move the image,
click and drag the
image.
· If you take the
cursor just off a corner box, you will see the cursor change and you can
now rotate the image. So now you can make sure that your horizons are
level. Incidentally the image will rotate around the centre point. However,
you can move the centre point if you need to. You just hold down the
key while you grab and move the centre point to where you need
it.
· If you want to stretch the image, then grab a side and hold the
key down while you drag an edge.
It is likely that you will
need a bit more space
around the image to see
what you are doing. By
default
the
image
virtually fills the image
panel
because
the
magnification is set to
'Auto'. The size of the
image in the panel can
be set, however, either
by using the pull-down
which allows anything
from 500% to 10%
magnification, or by
typing a value directly
into the 'box'. By choosing a smaller value the image size will reduce in the
panel and you will see more space round your image and be able to grab and
manipulate the image more easily.
