LFC4EVER Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Bug This might not be a bug, but to me its a bit odd. To recreate: Make a rectangular selection, not in the length to width ratio of 1:1 Then scale the selection so it is in the ratio 1:1 (so it becomes a square selection). Then scale the square selection in anyway you wish by constraining the proportions. Just press the SHIFT key when scaling. I expected the selection to be scaled in the ratio 1:1. But it scales it by going back to the original selection and scales from there. It even happens when i deselect, and hit undo once (hence finishing the selection but making the selection still active). Is this supposed to happen? :? Thanks to Simon for reminding me of this section. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 There is no way to set the scale tool to clip to a certain ratio. I think what you are reporting is more or less a desire for a feature, one that could not be implemented any time soon (unless, of course, you didn't mind have the selection auto scaling immediately [in other words, more headaches then it is worth]). Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm not asking for a feature. I sort of get what you mean, but here's a video and a image to show what i mean better.

Mike Ryan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Oh, I see what you are saying now! I think that this may be intentional, however I definitely agree that this should not be the behavior for this tool. From a users perspective, when trying to interpret what the program is doing, I think that it does some calculations based on the ratio, size, and the content inside when you finish a selection. Then using the scale selection tool will abide by these calculations. Testing this theory, I created a rectangular shape, scaled it to a square shape, shifted to the selection tool and then back to the scale selection tool, then using CTRL to define an adjustment to the ratio I found that the selection snaps back to the original leaving pixels behind. This, indeed, is a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 What about the second part of my post? In which the selection clips back to the original size leaving the pixels that were in the selection still on the canvas? (also, this is being tested in v3.36) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
