Is this only relevant if you're using the image in a webpage? I don't understand how it would work for a standalone image!

Keith, like most things, there are always subtleties.
- Take you image.
- Clone it.
- For the Clone, add any Placeholder code(!) but use the one I described if you use Preview.
Select the objects on the page or the whole page and Export as JPEG/PNG for XWD(P) or JPEG/PNG/PDF for XDPX.
The addition of any code to make the object a Placeholder allows squishing and squashing. Even <div></div> works.
If that does not suit then just make a Bitmap Copy of the Placeholder.
The Placeholder should not have Regenerate set in case you missed that.
Can you think of any other scenarios?

a non website senario ?

yes that is interesting... but I'm not sure I'd want to be always adding the code to my bitmaps

No bitmap ever gets code added!
You are creating a Placeholder image that can be squished or squashed, a thing you cannot do with an image (where the XDA does not have Smart transform code) or even a rectangle with Bitmap Fill.
For a Bitmap Fill you have to be very patient and hold the Shift key while moving the control ends. I always end up with a tilt or not fitting the bounds.
You can then create Bitmap copies from its contortions.

these are both the same thing in XDA - the status line calls them 'photo' and '[clipped] photo'image .... or even a rectangle with Bitmap Fill
ok I can see for a one-off it might be useful if you are working in a set up or version that makes squish 'difficult'

I've never use a placeholder, and not sure how that applies to a photo. However, you're the expert at this, so I'll take your word for it. At least i know it can be done if i need it.
