MartinHH Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi, Currently I can create image boxes in a free aspect ratio. There is no way to determine the aspect ratio beforehand. But it would be great if I had the choice to create my picture box in a defined aspect ratio, f.e. 2x3, 3x4, 1x1, free. Within the properties of picture boxes I still miss the possibility to adapt the picture box to the picture ( "Properties") automatically.

Hi @MartinHH, there is a way to determine the aspect ratio after you have created a picture frame. Draw the frame of about the size you need it. Then, in the transform panel, type into the height field the following: w/4*3. This translates into: divide the width of the frame by 4 and then multiply it with 3. This sizes the frame exactly in 4x3 ratio. You then can resize the picture frame by holding down the SHIFT key with this fixed aspect ratio. To create a picture frame with 1x1 ratio (= square) hold down the SHIFT key while creating it. I agree, a dropdown with presets would be a good enhancement, though d.
