    Posted by Leprikan6 on July 16, 2007 at 6:16 pm

    Im attempting to create a segment with multiple images nested together in a split screen type style. I have been successful shaping the images in the past by grabbing the sides of the wireframe and dragging to the size and shape I want(meaning I can have a rectangle shape or square, big and small). For some reason I can no longer do that and my wireframe only allows me to either resize the image (bigger and smaller but remaining in the shame shape) or to rotate the image.

    I went back to an old project where I was successful and noticed the wireframe had a second framing that was just inside the other frame.

    What setting or option do I need to change to add this second frame (that I believe will allow me to shape the image) to my current or any project?

    Please Help!

    Box inside the box? The only time I’ve seen that is when the image has been cropped.

    Here’s a quick run down of how this works.

    Turn on wireframe by going to the button with the partial square just above the image in the canvas. Make sure it is selected to image+wireframe.

    To scale the image, select the image and go to the corner of the wireframe in the canvas until you see a plus mark. This will scale the image. Hold down shift to change the aspect ratio.

    To rotate the image, just go to the edge of the wireframe (not the corner, but any other edge) and the pointer icon will change to a circle with an arrow on it. This will rotate. Hold down shift to rotate in increments of 45 degrees.

    To crop, hit C on the key board and select the edge or corner and start dragging.

    Hope that helps.
