Y/(400 - 70) = 300/400 Y = (300 * (400 - 70)) / 400; Y = 247.5 So 247 or 248 pixels in the y will be needed. The mathy formula. X/Y = X'/Y' which is just making the aspect ratios match. --- Orel Beckford <force_ogb@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi > I have'nt posted to this list for months, still > reading you mails :-) > > I having a problem trying to resize an image with > constrain. for example if I have an image which was > 400 x 300 and I wanted to reduce the x of the image by > 70, I need to calculate what the reduction of y > should be, to keep the image looking like the the > original but smaller, if I was to reduce the y by 70 > also the image looks a bit stretched, does anyone have > the formular to work out how much to reduce the y by. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca --------------------- To unsubscribe go to http://gameprogrammer.com/mailinglist.html
