2580x1932 and 1280x959

The larger one is right from the camera, I reduced the second.

For me, it does NOT display correctly on the draw display. My resolution is not listed (1280x1024), but I have gone though a number of resolutions that should would.

The larger image works perfectly on the XP laptop.

When I recut the image to 1280x720, and select 1280x720 from the playback settings list it's about correct. But that would be hard to gro from the laptop to the desktop and have to update the string positions each time.

I tried a couple of different sizes with the same problem. With my eyes and glasses, I prefer as large of a picture as I can use. The picture is a splice of two different pictures and by the time that I spliced and cropped it was 2272 X1520 (I know, odd size.) I reduced it to 897X600 and it still did the same thing. This same jpg worked fine in the earlier versions of Aurora. I am planning on taking some new pictures, but have not had the time.

The picture works right when I go to the draw screen.

I just adjusted the playback picture settings and this helped. The playback picture looked more like the picture in the draw function. Which is what I needed. Thanks for the suggestion.

As a workaround, open playback settings and make your picture the same size as the playback resolution. (or at least the same aspect ratio, ie. 16:10)

Please provide the dimensions (pixels) of the pictures which are having problems.

I'm sure this is a minor math bug that we can fix if we know what sizes to try.

I am having about the same issue. The aspect ratio of the picture in the visualizer is not correct. The picture is squished vertically. The picture I used in the visualizer in previous versions prety much filled the grid area of the screen . (I used a fairly large picture.) Now is is much small and is squished.

Aurora version 1.0

Windows Vista Home Premium

HP computer with Intel Quad core Q6600 processor

Nvidia GeForce 8500GT Video Card

No error codes for this problem

I am also getting the same problem with the visualizer picture on my laptop. Aurora version 1.0. Also running Vista Home Premium. AMD Turion 64 X2 TL60, Nvidia GeForce 7150M/ nForce G630M video.

Doesn't pull over the selected picture. I can update it via properties.

Well, now the photo did not scale correctly.

1. It does not cover the entire grid.

2. It sqishes the picture and black bands at the top and bottom.
