Hi Puggo,

- I gave it a shot and I took the frame of the two walkers and cropped it to 624x462 to get rid of the borders.

- Then I stretched it to 1236x462 and it looks pretty close to correct.  Your scan is very slightly crooked so it doesn't match perfectly, but I can't get it any closer.

So at 462, the height of the material actually matches exactly?  I was assuming that the whole thing would need to grow or shrink somewhat to make it match.

Thanks a lot for your analysis!  This sort of thing helps me out a lot.  I'll post a short clip and if you (or anyone else) wants to try running a BD test using your formula above, that would give us an idea of how well this might work.

Yes, I was keeping the height constant on the PSB and only stretching the horizontal until the width and height matched the original aspect ratio.  I also had to grow and shrink the original frame by dragging the corner so both dimensions would grow and shrink and keep the original aspect ratio.  Eventually I got the original frame to the right height and then stretched the PSB until the width matched.  It was kind of a pain.  :-)  Then when I overlaid the two, I pasted the new onto the old and then did undo, redo, undo, redo so I could flip back and forth to make sure it matched and that is when I noticed the PSB frame was very slightly crooked.  The edges are straight so it is the frame inside that is crooked (definitely not a big deal).

I would be happy to post a BD test if someone else doesn't beat me to it.  Then I can tell you exactly what I did so you will know how to do it and anyone else can critique the method I used.

Thanks,
Mike
