ONYX Postershop 7 (size constrain issue)

[artbot]

i need to alter the width of the printed image.

when i get to "Preview and Size" tab. i see little locks next to "Width", "Height", and "Magnification".

i need to constrain the height, but slightly compress the width. i've calculated that i need to compress it .996%.

when i hit "apply" i see both width and height change even though i have the "lock icon" clicked "on" for height.
what am i doing wrong?

thanks

You can't distort an image, only crop it.

argh. thanks.

so what do the locks do?

Fix one aspect of the image. That's about it.

If you're sure it will fit on the page but the software is saying it won't just set a larger roll size and left justify.

...i'm having an issue with the horizontal scaling/calibration being off.

don't think i've ever had a horizontal calibration on any printer. it's supposed to be locked to the encoder strip.

Whoah. Looks like you'll have to open in Photoshop and squish it there.
Tedious though.
