SYMPTOMSWhen you edit a picture in Microsoft Image Library and try
to crop the image by using the Aspect Ratio crop, the resulting image may be
two pixels smaller all around than you expect.CAUSEThis problem occurs if the original size of the image has an
even number of pixels for height, width or both height and width. When you use
the Aspect Ratio crop, Image Library tries to find the center pixel of the
image to center the crop on. Because of this, if the image has an even number
of pixels for height, width or for both dimensions, Image Library rounds down
the results from the calculation to find the center pixel. This process results
in a crop region that is two pixels smaller for each dimension with an even
number of pixels.WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem:
- After you have chosen the aspect ratio you want your image
cropped to, set the aspect ratio to none. This setting retains the settings you
make to the Crop Handles.
- Depending on whether one or both dimensions are made up of
an even number of pixels, you must reduce the number of pixels that are cropped
by one for either the Right and Left handles
or the Top and Bottom handles or for all four
Crop Handles.
- Click OK.
