Does lightburn have a scaling option

[Gazza1 (Gary)]

hi peeps just wondering if light burn has a scale option when doing photos rather than just resizing the image…

what i am trying to-do is scale a photo to same 100mm x 100mm without the stretching that resizing gives me

thanks in-advance

I am not following the issue you are observing. You can adjust the size of an imported image using these controls.

Like this? The right two boxes can you use to resize in percentages.

hi thanks for the reply

what i am trying to ask is if a photo is this size and i want to get it to say a square of 100x100 without it stretching or getting squashed so the image looks out of shape

i use a different program to scale the image is proportionate

but would like to use just light burn

think i am explaining it right

The answer is no. Using this rectangle shaped image would require trimming off parts of the image to make it square. Trying to squeeze all content from this image into a different shape (rectangle into square) will cause distortion when you “scale” it.

Alternatively, you can use the Image Mask feature to crop this to a square: Image Masking / Cropping - LightBurn Software Documentation

This can be the result with Image Masking.

Adjust original image so shortest side is 100mm.
Draw a 100 x 100mm square and position over the area of the image you want, set to line on the cuts/layers tab.
Select both together, right click and select Apply mask to image.

It goes from this

to this

Deselect and you have this
