Jeremy Bohn Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Once a picture is placed into a picture frame, where can I see its attributes? I've spent 10 minutes searching. Where can I see the size of the picture, how much it's scaled, what the aspect ratio is? Rotating a picture within a frame appear to be a chore too - I figured out that I have to command click in the frame to select the photo but half the time the rotation cursor doesn't pop up. macOS Mojave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a slider gizmo that shows up at the bottom of the window when you have the frame selected; click the arrow to its left to select the picture itself (the actual image layer that is buried inside the frame) to see the resolution and the like in the context toolbar.

Jeremy Bohn Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks fde101, that's helpful. I wasn't getting that circle before - what I was doing was command-clicking on the frame which selected the photo. When I placed the cursor near the corner of the photo the cursor would change to the rotation cursor, but it wasn't consistent. Randomly I would not get them, even on the same photo. So your double-click method is another way to accomplish it. I'm also finding photos placed are often the wrong orientation. Looks like Publisher is not using the rotation metadata in a lot of photos. If I used my old method of command-clicking to select the photos, using the rotation toolbar button would rotate and squish the image in every time. Your new method doesn't squish it. Yay!
