wpj00001.gif The aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of an image to its height (expressed mathematically as x:y). For example, the aspect ratio of an image that is 640 x 480 pixels is 4:3. Maintaining an image's aspect ratio allows you to retain proportionate dimensions while modifying image attributes.

wpj00001.gif Image height is automatically adjusted according to the value that you specify in the Width box when the Maintain Aspect Ratio check box is enabled. Maintaining the image's aspect ratio allows you to retain proportionate dimensions while modifying image attributes.
