Hers another way of doing it using photosuite 8. Open photosuite go to file and click on new canvas that will open the select canvas screen select custom size if not already selected go down to units and select pixels then enter the correct aspect ratio 4:3 720 x 540 NTSC 768 x 576 PAL 16:9 848 x 480 NTSC 1024 x 576 PAL Click ok then click save as i saved mine in a new folder in My Pictures as VW 8 scanner background.DMSP this allows you to scan you photos at there native size you then open the above saved project change the background color go to insert photos and cutouts resize the inserted photo to suit add edge fading,shadow etc.,save as a jpeg and then when you insert it into VW it's at the correct aspect ratio. It works great for portrait photos as you can have two one the one slide.

Your welcome yes North America use NTSC.

Open photosuite go to file and click on new canvas that will open the select canvas screen select custom size if not already selected go down to units and select pixels then enter the correct aspect ratio 4:3 720 x 540 NTSC 768 x 576 PAL 16:9 848 x 480 NTSC 1024 x 576 PAL Click ok then click save as i saved mine in a new folder in My Pictures as VW 8 scanner background.DMSP this allows you to scan you photos at there native size you then open the above saved project change the background color go to insert photos and cutouts resize the inserted photo to suit add edge fading,shadow etc.,save as a jpeg and then when you insert it into VW it's at the correct aspect ratio.

Hi this is how i do it im using alot of scanned photos for a family history project which gives the same effect when you use them in a slideshow . Have a read of this Black Edges On Scanned Photo's Hope its of some help.

Hi This topic was started on the 7-7.5 boards Black Edges On Scanned Photos but since i don't have that suite i thourght I'd post my solution here. Open photosuite go to file and click on new canvas that will open the select canvas screen select custom size if not already selected go down to units and select pixels then enter the correct aspect ratio 4:3 720 x 540 NTSC 768 x 576 PAL 16:9 848 x 480 NTSC 1024 x 576 PAL Click ok then click save as i saved mine in a new folder in My Pictures as VW 8 scanner background.DMSP this allows you to scan you photos at there native size you then open the above saved project change the background color go to insert photos and cutouts resize the inserted photo to suit add edge fading,shadow etc.,save as a jpeg and then when you insert it into VW it's at the correct aspect ratio. It works great for portrait photos as you can have two one the one slide. Anyway i hope this is of some use.

Hi Go to file then project settings to change it to 16:9.

Yep it'd be real easy to sit on that deck and watch the world go by.

Great shot patty where was it taken?

I think that applies worldwide

Go to applications on the home page its the top item in the right hand pane.

Have you enabled file sharing.

Thanks for the link theres alot of other useful info on the side bar.

I wonder who gets the yacht in the divorce settlement?

Thanks Bruce learn something new everyday. Can't comment only been to the west coast once in 85 for 2 weeks.

What screen is that Bruce? BTW hope you enjoyed the break with your family.

You can do it from with in VW as well (see screen shot). You can then use the frame by frame buttons to get the best shot. Hope this helps.

Check this out Frank It might help

Hi Frank the best ET was 8.76 @ 152 mph with a 60' time of 1.19 sec Engine - 350 SB fuel injected making about 600 hp. Trans - Turbo 400 with a TCI trans brake and a 6000 stall converter. Chassis - 125" wheel base with ladder bars and Koni shocks.

Hi Frank Glad to here you found a work around for your scanned photos, maybe Bruce will come up with something else when he gets back from holidays. Thanks for the trivia makes interesting reading I new about the engine revs one I think we worked it out one night over a few beers the calculations took a while!!! You have a great weekend to, I think that was one of the first qualifying runs of the day but then again Adelaides only a little town.

Hi Frank Glad you found a work around you can live with for the time being. What i find interesting is if i put a photo on the story board thats been captured from my dig cam it fills the screen but from the scanner you end up with the black bars! Anyway check out the general board I'll post the rod info. I don't have to go back to work I sacked the boss last week.

Your right Bruce it's under tools / options opens a new window and you'll see the clear button.

Hi Guys Ok heres what i did scanned the photo on to my HD using ECM 8 import/capture then i resized the pic in photosuite to 603 x 451 pixels. I got the size by using the ( extract image from production ) in VW. Hope this helps you out. BTW Frank thats my hotrod in the screen shot, Bruce sounds like your having a great time with the family. PS. just noticed on the screen shot theres a very thin black bar at the top just tried changing it from bars to fill and the cropping was very minimal.

Hi Frank Im not at my computer at the moment & for the life of me I can't remember exactly what I did so I'll post a blow by blow in the morning my time ( it's 8.15 pm now ). PS my avatar is my car and the other one in the screen shot was taken on a trip to england in 85.

I don't know if this will help as i did it in ECM 8 (VW 8). If i scan a photo onto my hd then import it into VW I end up with the black edges your talking about, but if I import it directly ( see screen shot ) I end up with the same aspect ratio 4:3 and no black bars. As i said i don't know if you can do this in 7 as i don't have it.

Your welcome but the thanks should go to gary .
