TV image size (Slideshow master effects)
This option ensures that the image size is adapted to fit the real television picture (anti-cropping).
Without adjustment the television might otherwise crop the image borders.
The four image margins can be proportionally adjusted by means of the four input fields. Here it is
important to find the optimal balance between distortion, reduction, bar formation, and image cropping:

If the same value is entered for every margin, then the image size is reduced proportionally. In this
case no distortions will occur, but there will be bars along the edges.

If different values are entered for the 4 fields, then the image size is reduced unproportionally.
This causes image distortion.
Apply TV screen size:
