Forum:NPC Overhaul Image Aspect Ratios

The FO3 NPC overhaul project says the images are supposed to be a ratio of 1:4:1. Is there an easy way to measure this? I notice a lot of images are different sizes and I'm not sure what is actually right, apart from the example page (Owyn Lyons). I can crop pictures that are the wrong ratio but I don't know how to do a correct measurement that's in proportion. When I just cropped the File:Walter.PNG picture, I had to use the pixel measurements from the example page and crop it so it was in proportion, but I'm not so sure that it's right. Does anyone here who regularly uploads images have any advice for me? Also, are the images all supposed to be oriented horizontally, or is it okay to have an image in the same ratio, but oriented vertically? 04:40, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * A ratio of 1.4:1 means its width should be 1.4 times its height; e.g. if the image is 100px high, it should be 140px wide. I think that also answers your question regarding horizontal vs vertical orientation :) Most more advanced image editing software display the ratio of your selection somewhere (e.g. Paintshop Pro displays it in the bottom bar). -- Porter21 (talk) 07:03, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
