On export, "Fit within" now equals "Size to" ??!

Hi,


Noticed this a couple of days ago and finally took the time to look into it. When I select "Fit within" as part of any Image Export Preset, Aperture is enlarging ("up-rezzing") Images that are smaller than the set parameters. It does this with either JPG or TIFF specified.


Ex1:

Image size in Aperture: 4328 x 2441

Image export setting: TIFF, Fit within 5,000 x 5000 px.

Exported file image dimensions: 5000 x 2820


Ex2:

Image size in Aperture: 2941 × 4002

Image export setting: JPG, Fit within 8,000 x 8,000 px.

Exported file image dimensions: 5879 × 8000


This is not at all what I want or what I expect.


Can someone confirm that this is how it works with their installation?

Does it make sense?

Didn't it used to work "correctly" -- that is, to shrink as needed and never to enlarge?


Thanks.

I can confirm that is how it is working in the latest of both Aperture and OS.


I don't remember for sure how it use to work but not upsizing seems to ring a bell.

Kirby,

I checked on my Snowleopard machine with Aperture 3.2.4 - it also will blow up the the exported image when I use "fit within" on an image smaller than the specified size, exactly the same as with AP 3.4.3 on MacOS X 10.8.2.


I never noticed, when this did change. You might try the Trial, to check it Aperture 3.1.2 really was behaving differently.
