postmadesign Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Please add the ability to make the frame fit the image, and the image fit to frame. What would work is double clicking the transformation handle. It is quite hard to make an image fit exactly. Or some kind of snapping option, that would make it easier. Seneca 1 Quote

We can get the image to fit the frame but it will ruin the aspect ration. The Frame to fit the image is currently impossible and that is a very odd oversight in my opinion.

fde101 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 If you have a picture frame selected, with the Move tool, click Properties on the context toolbar and there are some scaling options to make the picture fit the frame. Two of the options maintain the aspect ratio - one of them shows the entire image and leaves parts of the frame blank if the aspect ratio does not match, and the other will fill the entire frame and crop out parts of the image that don't fit because of a difference in aspect ratio - and the remaining option will fit the frame perfectly while ignoring the aspect ratio, allowing the image aspect to be distorted.

Yes, I know about these options, but there is one missing: make the frame fit around the image, without it changing the size of the image and without cropping or blank frame. Double clicking with the arrow tool on the edge nodes will also make it warp around the image. Quote
