Hello,

I have a strange issue that have not noticed below:

When I view an image that does not seem to fit on the screen windows does
not seem to resize it properly, it seems that aspect ratio is wrong.

Repro steps:

Launch Windows Photo Gallery,
Open an image that is larger than ur resolution or the same ie. 1280x1024
Observe an image ** the image will be resized but it will be more shrunk
horizontally and will look odd.
(it looks like windows screws up the aspect ratio)

Configuration:
Clean Windows Vista Business x64 installation
cpu: Amd Athlon x64 2.4 x2
ram: 4GB 800mhz (tried with 2 also)
vid: 8800gts 640mb
sound: xfi
display: viewsonic vx922 @ 1080x1024(native)

Thanks,

Ig

Photo Galley doesn't say it will maintain aspect ratio, in fact it is
just an image viewer. Most every thumbnail viewer I've seen suffers
from the same shortcoming. If you want to keep proper aspect ratio
when previewing images buy a professional grade image enhancement
application like Photoshop.
