Scaling

Custom Scaling

Enables the Scaling options for this Photo. The initial values are those saved in the Photo file. These settings replace those in Slideshow Properties.

Scale To Fit

Scales the Photo to fill the screen area. If the Photo is not the same aspect ratio as the 3-D Display, then it may become distorted. This is the default setting if Custom Scaling is not selected.

Pad With Black

This option is only available if 'Custom Scaling' is selected.

Preserves the entire area of the Photo as it is scaled to fill as much of the 3-D Display screen area as possible, with the remainder being filled in black.

Crop To

This option is only available if 'Custom Scaling' is selected.

Crops the Photo so that it becomes the same aspect ratio as the 3-D Display, and then scales it to fill the whole screen area.

When this option is selected one of two sliders become available (depending on the proportions of the Photo and the 3-D Display) to choose which parts of the Photo to crop. Middle settings will crop evenly from the left/right or top/bottom edges respectively. Other settings bias which parts of the Photo will be kept. For example, if the horizontal slider is pushed over to the far left, the left side of the Photo will be preserved, and the right side will be cropped.

If no slider becomes enabled this means that the Photo isalready the same aspect ratio as the 3-D Display.

Common

Revert

Resets all settings to the original values in the Photo file.

Note: This Revert has no effect on Slideshow Properties.
