how can I scale a photo??
no matter what I try -- I can not change the aspect ratio of the underlying image
(not just the container)
eg I want to make a square look like a rectangle
Re: how can I scale a photo??
Hold down the Alt key before touching one of the controls.
This is the Squishy/Squashy Saga where Xara hid a Smart Transform option behind a right-click on the Aspect Ration icon - go figure.
Search Squishy/Squashy in TG for the whole sorry saga.

I read all over the manual -= all I tried to scale the photo
not the box
who knew to search on SQUISHY?and
just did find it
it is "stretching and squashing"
and no where does it say to use the ALT key
THAT is CRUCIAL
(else it not work)
THANKS to all and to ACORN

As an oblong is a rectangle that is not a square, I hope not.

It's not a word we hear often, even when it's entirely appropriate!
