3.4.2 Image properties
When you add an image to a Playlist, you can set the following properties:
Mode
You can set the image display mode to one of these options:
Fit to Zone stretches the image size to exactly fit the specified width and height of the Zone. This may distort the image
because it changes the image aspect ratio.
Letterbox shows the entire image but preserves the original aspect ratio. Any space in the Zone not covered by the
image (the letterbox area) shows the Letterbox Color you set.
Crop preserves the image aspect ratio, but may cut off the edges of the image to display within the specified width and
height of the Zone.
The aspect ratio of an image is the relationship between its height and its width.
Letterbox color
If you select Letterbox mode as the image display mode, the letterbox area is the area between the Zone edge and image
edge. The Letterbox area is shown in the Letterbox color you set.
