Keron Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi, not sure if this is a bug, but from my point of view it is a very strange behaviour. This is my setup: 1) Select "Place Image Tool" to place an image on a page. 2) Select "Picture Frame Properties" to "None". 3) Select "Move Tool" to resize/move the picture frame to the desired size/position. 4) Double click the picture frame to select the "background" image in the frame and resize/move the image to see the desired excerpt of the image in the frame. Now if I move the image frame everything is still ok. Actual behaviour (potential bug): If I want to rezise the frame, the image is going to be automatically resized to its original size. Expected Behaviour: If I resize the frame, the image stays positioned like I explicitly done it in step (4) using: 1.7.0.57 (Beta) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBiv Tnomal Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm having the same problem and leaning more toward this being a bug instead of it being a feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your answer to the other thread you linked a video saying it is a feature. I do see it a bit different. It sure is a feature (and in my opinion a great feature) if I select "Scale to Maximum Fit" like it is shown in the video that the image resizes automatically. But if I select "None" in the frame properties I would not expect the image to automatically resize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Same as you, I think for now I'll use rectangle or other forms and put my pictures in them, or use the "scale to minimum" option. There's a bug too: when selecting "none", it could —grummmfff— resize a last time the image, but for now it is resized at 72 dpi when my document is set at 300 dpi. I need to zoom out to resize an enormous picture so it would fit my frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you might be clicking the Place Image tool rather than dragging it when you apply the image to the frame. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 No, the Move Tool is used, and it's the only picture frame in why test document, I click on it when checking the different properties. At first I created it and inserted the picture, and did some tests for the rescale properties/options while adjusting the frame so all my text would fit in the page. I selected the frame with the move tool to test how the properties behave, and when setting it to "none" (so I could put back my frame at the original position and size) the image is rescale to 72 DPI.

Wosven Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Now, I think I understand why it's rescaled to 72 PPI. It's the original PPI of this JPG file. For years, since QXP and ID added effective PPI/DPI, I don't spend time setting pictures to 300 PDI/PPI before importing them in a document, I only check that the effective value is more than 280 PPI... The simplest solution for this would be that selecting "none" do nothing as expected, or we won't be able to modify some frame later with this setting. And it's a problem (unless we want to resize it again and again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wosven Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) There's a bug: after modifying with the Vector crop tool, if you don't move the frame with the Move Tool, but other tools, no problem. If you move the picture frame with the Move Tool, the cropped area will be a big square somewhere in the bottom right of your frame. EDIT: This seems related to only one document, there aren't problems when doing this in other ones.
