Viso 2003: Uncropping an image

[Udo]

Hello,

is there any way to uncropp an cropped image, so that the original
settings (position, bounding box) are shown again?


Thanks and greetings
Udo

You can do this precisely by following these steps:

1. Select the shape and choose Window > Show ShapeSheet.
2. Find the "Foreign Image Info" in this Excel-like window.
3. Change the ImgOffsetX & Y cells so that they are "ImgWidth*0" and
"ImgHeight*0"
4. Note the multiples in the cells "ImgWidth" & "ImgHeight" - write them
down.
For instance ImgWidth = Width*1.1636 - write down 1.1636
5. Change these multiples back to 1, so:
ImgWidth = Width*1ImgHeight = Height*1


1.1636
1.4637

Ok, let's try it again...I hit a key too early : )

You can do this precisely by following these steps:

1. Select the shape and choose Window > Show ShapeSheet.
2. Find the "Foreign Image Info" in this Excel-like window. Way down near
the bottom.
3. Change the ImgOffsetX & Y cells so that they are "ImgWidth*0" and
"ImgHeight*0"
4. Note the multiples in the cells "ImgWidth" & "ImgHeight" - write them
down.
For instance ImgWidth = Width*1.1636 - write down 1.1636
5. Change these multiples back to 1, so:
ImgWidth = Width*1
ImgHeight = Height*1
6. Way up at the top, in the Shape Transform section, multiply the Width &
Height formulas by the multiples you wrote down earlier. Ie: multiply the
Width by 1.1636 or whatever, and the same for the height.
