Pixel Aspect Ratio

Fri Oct 31, 2014 5:04 pm
I'm a newish user of Krita and when I save my layers out, they have a pixel aspect ratio of 72:1. This is crazy. I can't find anywhere to set/correct this. Everything looks fine in Krita and some applications handle them okay but report the par of 72:1. Some apps don't like it at all and show an elongated bar of image mush. Any ideas? I don't think I've touched any settings from default.

I thought there was a button on the very bottom right that changed that toggled the PAR (by the zoom scaling slider). Does that get you any closer to what you are looking for?

Sounds like a bug. As what do you save your layers?

Well that "works" So when I hit that button, it looks the same as my (bad) export with the image all squished. How did I set that up in the first place? Is there a way to convert/correct this?

EDIT: That is to say: Yes my document is set up with a pixel aspect ratio of 72:1. My questions are:

1) How did I manage to accidentally set my document up that way?

and
2) is there any way to salvage this document by converting somehow? I was using krita to do a rough animation because I liked the brushes so much so I have a doc with around 100 layers that I wanted to save out individually as a sequence.

EDIT 2: So after a bit of poking around, I discovered the HD 1920x1080 template (which I've been using) has that awful problem of pixel aspect ratio of 72:1. The other templates do not. Did I mess the template up? Again, I see nowhere to fiddle with aspect ratio anywhere inside Kritas menus. What am I missing?

What you can do to salvage the issue is save as .kra, unzip the kra file and manually change the x-res and y-res values in maindoc.xml and then zip up the file again.
