Chapter 15 Adding Frame Controls, Geometry, and Actions to a Setting 203
Making Geometry Adjustments to a Setting
You use the Geometry pane in the Inspector window to crop, scale, and change the
frame aspect ratio in a setting.
To add cropping, frame sizing, and aspect ratio settings to your setting:
1 Open the Settings tab of the Presets window.
2 Select the setting in the Settings table that you want to modify. (Or select a setting
already applied to a source media file in the Batch window.)
3 Click the Geometry tab in the Inspector.
4 Enter your source inset (cropping) settings, choose output size dimensions from the
Frame Size pop-up menu, and choose aspect ratio settings from the “Constrain to
display aspect” pop-up menu.
You can see all changes you make to your setting by viewing the Summary table in the
Summary pane.
