Scale to fit vs format to fit

I am working on my first Aperture generated book. Is there a preferred way to size images to frames? Should I allow Aperture to do it via the "scale to fit button", or would it be better to use my image editor to resize the images to fit the Aperture frames?
Thanks
Joe

Try it both ways and se if you can tell the difference.

How to default Preview/Finder to print "Scale to Fit Print Entire image/Fill Entire Paper"?

Hello all,
I have to print PDFs. Preview or printing directly from Finder prints scaling 100% and many many times the edges of the PDFs are left outside of the printing area. I have the correct paper size selected (A4) and actually the PDFs are also A4 but for some reason 100% zooms in a bit and cuts the sides of the print outside.
I can of course fix this by selecting Scale to Fit and Print Entire Image but I do have to do this every single time I open a PDF. I want to make this option my default! And preferrably so that I can use CMD+P from Finder to print directly without having to open the PDF. I already know what is in it...
I have tried different Terminal tricks I have found searching the web but no luck, this and others with Preview closed before executing the command
defaults delete com.apple.Preview PVImagePrintingScaleMode
Please help and make my life easier. Cannot be this hard.

I got a work around for this. Instead of using RTF template, I used Microsoft Excel itself as template and did the formatting in excel.
thanks,
Vijay

Report generation doesn't scale to fit

The layout option, "Scale front panel to fit" in "Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi" (in the report generation pallette) doesn't do anything. In fact, if I dig into that vi, it goes through to "Report Gen VI or Documentation.vi", and I find that the layout option isn't wired to anything! Is this a known problem with that vi?
My application requires that I print the front panel as part of a user log, and I need to be able to scale to fit in order to squeeze it onto the page. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
The layout option is not wired to anything in the Standard, HTML, Excel and Word Report, but it is used in the Quick Print default case. The Help document for this VI mentions that the layout option is ignored on Standard and HTML Reports but does not mention the Excel or Word Reports.
This was discovered a little while ago in this discussion forum. And a report has be filed to R&D by Ben.

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX

Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?

Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

Feature request: Scale to fit (Smart Scale)

Hello,
When I either drag a layer from one doc to another, when I drop it, or even via copy and paste, it would be nice to have a SCALE TO FIT option.
Often when working with different resolution images, you still need to make them fit. Either scaling down to fit target document size, or scale up. Kind of like a Super Smart Object.
If you have different ratios, i.e 4:3, 16:9 etc. you can have option to either scale to fit width, or height. or simply scale to fit 100% in the canvas.
Very much like we have in most print dialog boxes.
It could be a keyboard comand or even contextual menu: SCALE TO FIT.
A selected object or layer can be right clicked: scale to fit. Would help workflow. Would be easy to impliment.
Option: Constrain Proportions check box. example, if I am bringing in say a texture I want to use with blend modes. this option would scale the X and Y to fit the canvas.
Thank you!

Are Adobe EVER going to make Edge Animate scale-to-fit (like Flash)?

I've been following the progress of Edge Animate (formerly Edge) ever since Steve Jobs decided he wasn't having Flash on the iPad.
With each new version I've been desperately looking for the feature that I consider the most important of all: Scale-to-fit
There are a couple of discussions already on this forum where people have requested this feature - but both have been sidetracked by replies from people who haven't understood what 'scale-to-fit' is. So let me explain Scale-to-fit:
I'm talking about the feature in Flash - where if the HTML dimensions are set to 'Percent' - then the resultant movie will scale-to-fit any browser window. Here is an example of what I mean:
http://www.skippingschool.co.uk
- try changing the browser size and you'll see the whole frame (graphics and images) scales without changing its proportions.
When the latest version of Edge Animate came out with its built-in easy-to-follow 'Resize' Lesson, I thought Adobe had finally found an answer. But good though this feature is, it doesn't solve the problem. It's only possible to properly scale-to-fit images - not graphics.
It's now more important than ever that Adobe finds a solution to this problem. The world is going 'Responsive' - its not just a fad. And 'Responsive' is not just about three columns being squeezed into one. All Responsive sites require images, graphics AND animations to scale-to-fit. So Adobe's tutorial showing how Edge Animate can be added to WordPress sites is of limited use because it won't work for Responsive web sites.
So please Adobe, will someone tell me if scale-to-fit is EVER going to happen? I don't mind if it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months down the line - but I need to know if it's worth me sticking with Edge Animate - or whether I should be looking toward HTML5 Canvas or something else for a solution?
Alternatively, is there some fundamental reason why it can NEVER happen?
Please tell me? Just put me out of my misery!

Hi Sarah,
I hope you don't mind but I played around with your code a bit and managed to get the kind of scale-to-fit behavior that I believe the OP was asking about. I think the trick is to make sure that you also check whether the scaled height of the stage exceeds the height of the browser window and change the scaling so that it is responsive to changes in both the width and height of the window, whichever is the limiting factor. The code I changed in CompositionReady appears in bold below. I hope this helps.
sym.$("#Stage").css({ // Set the transform origin so we always scale to the top left corner of the stage
"transform-origin":"0 0",
"-ms-transform-origin":"0 0",
"-webkit-transform-origin":"0 0",
"-moz-transform-origin":"0 0",
"-o-transform-origin":"0 0"
function scaleStage() {
    var stage = sym.$('Stage'); // Set a reusable variable to reference the stage
    var parent = sym.$('Stage').parent(); // Set a reusable variable to reference the parent container of the stage
    var parentWidth = stage.parent().width(); // Get the parent of the stage width
    var parentHeight = $(window).height(); // Get the browser window height
    var stageWidth = stage.width(); // Get the stage width
    var stageHeight = stage.height(); // Get the stage height
    var desiredWidth = Math.round(parentWidth * 1); // Set the new width of the stage as it scales
    var desiredHeight = Math.round(parentHeight * 1); // Set the new height of the stage as it scales
    var rescaleWidth = (desiredWidth / stageWidth); // Set a variable to calculate the new width of the stage as it scales
    var rescaleHeight = (desiredHeight / stageHeight); // Set a variable to calculate the new height of the stage as it scales
    var rescale = rescaleWidth;
    if (stageHeight * rescale > desiredHeight) // Do not scale larger than the height of the browser window
                    rescale = rescaleHeight;
// Rescale the stage!
           stage.css('transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
     stage.css( '-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
           stage.css('-ms-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
     stage.css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
           stage.css('-moz-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
     stage.css('-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
           parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
// Make it happen when the browser resizes
$(window).on('resize', function(){
           scaleStage();
// Make it happen when the page first loads
$(document).ready(function(){
    scaleStage();

Printing Keynote presentation-scale to fit

is there a way to print a keynote presentation to scale to fit different paper sizes? E.g. I have a 800 x 600 presentation and I want it to print to the maximum size on a tabloid page (same for 1024x720, 1920 x 1080, custom, etc). Ideally this would be handled directly out of keynote, but changing the percentage of output under page setup has NO effect...this seems so basic, there's got to be something simple I am missing.. can anyone help?
btw: exporting to pdf only to then print seems like an extra step and creates a duplicate file I would rather not have to keep up to date with changes...
anyone?

Hi
I am having the same problem but with larger poster size slides. I have ended up making PDFs from Keynote.

Scale to fit paper size (no custom paper size?)

I used to have a custom paper size called "No. 6-3/4 envelopes" defined under Page Setup. For example, in Pages I would adjust the document's page size to the size of my envelope (6.5 x 3.63 inches). However, to get it to print correctly, after selecting File > Print... I would need to select "Paper Handling" (dropdown) and check "Scale to fit paper size". Then select from "Destination Paper Size" (dropdown) my custom page size that I defined in Page Setup. It would appear as a custom size near the bottom of the list after all the standard sizes such as US Letter. By not doing this before printing a custom size envelope, my HP printer throws an error that it does not support the page size.
However, after upgrading to Lion, I'm not seeing my custom paper size underneath the "Destination Paper Size" list. It doesn't show any custom sizes I've defined from Page Setup as it did in 10.6 Snow Leopard. Is this a bug?

Nevermind, I seemed to have solved my own issue which drove me crazy for the last 30 minutes. By swapping the Width and Height for the custom size in Page Setup, it now seems to notice the custom size under "Destination Paper Size" again.

Excel file won't scale to fit page

We have just installed a new copier, a Ricoh MP C4503, that repaced essentially an earlier version of the product.
We have a user with an Excel for Mac 2011 xls file, that when he selected an area and printed with scale to fit, printed full page on 11 x 17. But now the spreadhseet comes out looking shrunk on the page, perhaps as thought it would look if printed fully on 8.5 x 11 but I'm just guessing.
If I print this file on another Mac,with essentially the same OS (or several other versions of OSX on several other Macs we have in the office) using the same copier, it prints as desired, a beautiful fullpage 11x17 spreadsheet.
It is only on his MBP (with latest updates I might add) that this problem is occurring, so I think it must be a problem with his OS, his printer driver, or his Excel installation, and I would remind, it printed fine before the new printer/copier came along.
I have tried a barrage of possible solutions until I'm bleary-eyed: multiple tweaks of the settings in sys prefs, printer features, page setup, print area, deleting and reinstalling driver, and more.
Help?

Wrong place to ask perhaps?

Edge Suite issue with Scale to Fit composition

Having problem with this WordPress based site. As you can see, the composition is not appearing. It used to be, but then I tried Sarah Hunt's tutorial on Scale to Fit comps. The tutorial seems to work fine....except on WordPress sites. At least using the Edge Suite plugin to upload .oam's. It's mentioned in Sarah's tutorial but there was never a resolution. So I brought it over here to the main Adobe Forums and hopefully I can get an answer as to why my comp isn't displaying.
The files for this preso are here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6w8x0zl0cln5wi/flowshot.zip
Any help on making this work, er, uh, fit, would be great.

Tried that as well, to no effect. Now I get no Edge comp on the page at all. Just blank. Although the code says otherwise

Bug of scrollbar with "scale to fit" script

Hi,
I encounter a sort of bug with this nice script "scale to fit":
http://sarahjustine.com/2013/04/08/create-scale-to-fit-projects-with-adobe-edge-animate/
I create a simple animation composed of a single image (stage = 1024px X 3000px) with the script (see below) to test it: everything works, the animation is well scaled, BUT when I resize the browser, the scrollbar keeps his original size even if the height of the animation is very low.
The bug concerns all the popular browsers (desktop and mobile* version) except chrome.
* I use this meta: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width;">
exemple:
original height of the animation = 3000px
height of the scrollbar = 3000px
height of the animation scaled = 600px
height of the scrollbar don't change = 3000px
I don't use any CSS, I simply publish the animation with EDGE CC (not 1.5).
Someone could give me some hints for resolve this "bug" ?
Oliver.
sorry for my English, I'm French...
A live example which seems to use this script (not of me),
you can see the scrollbar bug if you resize the browser (with IE or Firefox)
http://www.ryanterry.net/resume/html5/

var stageHeight = sym.$('Stage').height(); // Set a variable for the height of the stage

    parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
// Make it happen when the browser resizes
$(window).on('resize', function(){
           scaleStage();
// Make it happen when the page first loads
$(document).ready(function(){
    scaleStage();

Hey Oliver,
Try wrapping another div around the #Stage div. I believe the scrollbars are appearing because with the script Animate will recalc the parent height, BUT if that parent is the body it doesn't adjust so it thinks it's the original height of your composition. So your HTML page will look like this:
<div style="height:1px; overflow:hidden;">
    <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-78729757">
          </div></div>
I found I had to apply the height property to get it to hide the scrollbar, but the value is irrevelant as it gets overwritten anyways by the script. Give that a shot.
Good luck!
Sarah

Where did the "scale to fit" option go?

If I remember correctly in one of the tutorials I was watching there was a scale to fit or scale to fill option for the browser fill, its not an option anymore. I'm confused as to what happned to it. Was it actually taken out of the features?

The ability to use the Scale to Fit option for the Browser Fill is now available in the current Muse beta. You can learn more about this feature in the Muse Release Notes (August 1, 2012 beta).
Here is more information on how to participate in the Muse beta program: Participating in the Muse beta program
We welcome your feedback on these upcoming features.
Best regards,
Corey
