ASPECT-RATIO WORKSHEET - LITEWARES
Reusable planning sheet. Example numbers are synthetic.
Source width W: ______  height H: ______ pixels
Target width T: ______  height U: ______ pixels
Important subject/text bounding box (pixels from top left):
left: ______ right: ______ top: ______ bottom: ______

1. Compare W/H with T/U.
Equal: resizing needs no crop. Wider source: sides are cut.
Taller source: top and bottom are cut.
2. Scale s = max(T/W, U/H).
Retained source width = T/s; retained source height = U/s.
Left cut x = (W - T/s)/2; top cut y = (H - U/s)/2.
Retained bounds: x through W-x; y through H-y.
3. Is the entire important box inside those bounds? ______
If not, recompose or add padding in another editor before using the resizer.
The resizer has fixed center crop, no fit/pad mode or manual positioning.
4. Is s greater than 1? ______ If yes, output is enlarged; check softness.
5. Download and inspect: all text readable? subject intact? destination preview OK?

Worked synthetic example: W=1600, H=1200, T=1080, U=1080.
s=0.9, retained 1200 x 1200, x=200, y=0.
Keep x=200..1400 and y=0..1200. An object at x=40..180 is lost.
Story example: T=1080, U=1920. s=1.6, retained 675 x 1200.
x=462.5, y=0. Keep x=462.5..1137.5; image is enlarged.
These describe tool presets, not universal platform requirements.
