Hey Hey!

Was hoping you gurus could help me out since I've been messing with it & not finding anything.

So I have a particle template I'm working with & am in the Particle Design Room. I added an image directly into it. Is there any way I can RESIZE that image but keep the proper ratio? When you drag in a corner, etc. it distorts it.

Cheers & THANKS in advance.
Joe

Hey Joe -

When you're in Particle Designer, select the particle in question then adjust the size (and size variation) under Parameters.

Cheers - Tony

For a particle image Tony showed well.
You did not specify but I think you are referring to the still image that will compose the background.
I think this is not how to keep the the aspect ratio when resizing.
However you can use the grid line tool, to facilitate and also stretch or shrink diagonally drag the corner, is not perfect but facilitates. see image
For background image only has 3 options, stretche, Letterbox and Crop

Hi,
The little 'Blue' spuares just beside the white "sqaures" are the deform buttons. Select the white ones for aspect resize.

Playsound - it's good job you're thinking!

I skipped right over the when you drag in a corner, etc. it distorts it bit!
