Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the image aspect ratio change when resizing an image?
- • When using edge control points to adjust the size, the system will only change the image in a single direction (width or height), which may cause the aspect ratio to be stretched.
- • To maintain the original aspect ratio, please use the corner control points for proportional scaling.
Why does the image automatically change to a fixed shape or ratio after cropping?
- • If "Preset Shape" or "Preset Aspect Ratio" is selected during cropping, the system will automatically apply the corresponding crop box.
- • If you need to perform free cropping, please only click "Crop Image" to enter the manual cropping mode.
Why is it difficult to precisely align an image to a specified position when dragging it?
- • Mouse dragging is suitable for quick movement but not for precise positioning.
- • If you need a precise position, please enter the exact coordinates in the position category of the right editing panel, or use the alignment tool for automatic alignment.
