"Zoom" is correct in that it keeps the correct aspect but it's currently broken as it shifts things to one side and crops everything from one side instead of off of both. Some may argue that for composition this is hacky but it's our best solution for now as long as disk space is an issue and we can't ship multiple walls for various aspects. -Cory \m/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
