I’ve been using fixed aspect ratio as an action to create perfect circle head shots for years. using 1 to 1.
The only oddity I can attribute to the current problem is it’s loading up the images bmp and jpg with the pixel aspect ratio setting turned on [squashing the image]. I’ve left the warning window turned on because I haven’t found anyway to turn it off completely. It’s the most annoying addition I’ve ever seen.
The problem is the action creates 100×100 pixel headshots. I can’t get the current image 320×240 to select a fixed aspect ratio section from this image. Even holding down shift with the oval gives me an oval vs a 1 to 1 circle.
What’s gone wrong here ?
Oh yeah I tried running the action with the pixel aspect ratio turned on. Circle came out fine. Image it made wasn’t a circle when saved.
It’s been running fine for years. Today it quits. What’s up ? Here’s the action steps to duplicate it.
select fixed aspect ratio on oval 1 height to 1 width.
select area on image to create headshot.
move guides to outer edges.
crop to edges
reselect headshot area
reverse selection
Fill color.
and save if happy with cut.
