the project, 1024 x 768 or greater, since this is the image that is presented to
the customer or submitted for print.
Aspect ratio describes the proportions of a still image or the frames in an
animation, expressed as the ratio of width to height, regardless of the image's
resolution. The aspect ratio of an image is controlled by the Image Aspect
setting. Aspect ratio is usually expressed either as a ratio of width over height
(for example, 4:3) or as a multiplier (such as, 1.333). Changing this value
changes the Height value to maintain the correct dimensions for the output
resolution.
The following example shows various aspect ratios.
If you choose to lock the image aspect, the width and height are tied together;
changing one automatically changes the other while maintaining the aspect
ratio.
