What we can now do is reduce the width by one pixel, from 952 to 951 and see what the proposed width is. We see that it proposes a height 2 of 634.6666666666666 pixels which is no good. We make sure that "Round results to the nearest whole number" is deselected, and put in the number just below what we have for the width (here 952): How can you solve that?įirstly we go to the Aspect Ratio Calculator, and we begin with the width to height value 1 of 3:2. For example, if the original ratio is 960-635, to make it 3:2 it should be 952.5 - 635 but GIMP changes 952.5 in 953 so Lingopolo still doesn't accept it as a correct ratio. Sometimes you have the problem where it seems that the correct resolution will need a half pixel. How exactly to do that will be in the next section. Since the original is 1920 x 1080 the photo is large enough to do this all we need to do is to crop the photo to this new size. Thus, we now know that if we can change out photo to the size 1620 x 1080 we will have the correct aspect ratio. The calculator now automatically works out that the W2 value we need is 1620. So, instead, let's type our photo height of 1080 into the H2 box. This doesn't help us, since we don't have an original that big. Now, if we put into W2 the width of our actual photo 1920, it will tell us that H2 needs to be 1280. This now shows the required aspect ratio of 3:2. So, to do the calculation, the first thing we do is put 1920 into H into H1 (or 30).
You can put the values 19 into the W1 and H1 boxes respectively and you will see that it is actually a ratio of 16:9. This is obviously going to be different from the standard 1920 x 1280. Now, the problem is that the XL photo there has a size of 1920 x 1080. Let's say that we want to use the Pixabay green leaf photo for the word green. So, this tells us that 1530 x 1020 would be a valid alternative size to 1920 x 1280. 1530) and it will calculate the new H2 value (here 1020) so that the ratio is 3:2. Now you can put a value into the W2 box (e.g. (You can of course start with and 3:2 ratio such as 3000 x 2000 or 150 x 100). This will give us the starting aspect ratio of 3:2. The first thing to do is to start with the standard Lingopolo size of 1920 x 1280 by putting 1920 into W into H1. For example when you use a rounded value, it might show 1532 x 1021 as a valid value, but when you don't round then you will see that you really need values of 1532 x 1021.3333333, which we cannot do. Make sure that the checkbox "Round results to the nearest whole number" is NOT checked we only want to use width and height values which are whole numbers. Deselect the "Round results to the nearest whole number" checkbox We are trying to get an aspect ratio of 3:2. When you type values in here, the aspect ratio is shown further down. You can use the first boxes W1 and H1 to find out the aspect ratio of any photo.
The first thing you need to do is find out what size (width and height) the photo needs to be.įor this we use the Aspect Ratio Calculator website page. If this error message does not display, then you can know that the aspect ratio is correct. You should create a new version of the image with the correct ratio and upload again. If you do upload a photo with the wrong aspect ratio, Lingopolo will give an error message. See … for more information on aspect ratios. Otherwise you will probably need to change the aspect ratio (or at least check if it has the ratio we use for Lingopolo). If you take a Pixabay photo and the size is already 1920 x 1280, then you can use it directly. Thus, for example, the following sized photo would also have an aspect ratio of 3:2: Note of course that for the aspect ratio, it is only the relative size which matters. To check if a particular photo has the correct ratio is easy simply divide the width by the height, here 1920/1280 = 1.5. For example, some photos are more square than normal, and will look less good, since inconsistent.įor Lingopolo use, we always use an aspect ratio of 3:2 (i.e. Aspect ratio is the ratio between the width of the photo and the height of the photo.
