(Problem solved) Distorted aspect ratio on JPG

[Luc]

Hello

I had XnView 1.80.3 and everything was perfect.
So I recently updated to XnView 1.90.6 and I have now a distorted aspect ratio on some .JPG pictures.
Not all...but some.
I don't understand this as all pictures come from my camera as the source.
I don't have this problem with any other graphic editor software.
In my other computer with the XNView 1.80.3 everything is fine.
Any way to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Sure I can do it.
Don't laugh at it though!!!

Dear XnView
New observation...

If I load this image or some others that don't show right on aspect ratio, and I click on "Image/Resize", the feature "keep ratio" is unchecked.
If I check it, the image becomes normal.

If I load an image that looks right and go in "Image/resize", the "Keep ratio" is checked.

So this "keep ratio" feature status seems to change from image to image.

Bizarre, n'est-ce pas?

try this, svp:

• Make a copy of your file.
• Open the copy in XnView.
• In View mode, go to Image » Set DPI....
• Enter the same value for X and Y (p.ex. 72/72 or 96/96) and hit OK.
• Save the file.

Hello ! Bonsoir,

• Your sample is not a JPG, it's a BMP 1.5 MiB…
- Renamed as .BMP, it works in M$ Paint ! And it's displayed nicely.

Cher Claude

Merci pour ton approche.
Mortecouille!
Comment peux-tu déduire que c'est un fichier .BMP?
Je n'ai jamais converti une de mes photos en un tel format.
Je peux te confirmer que dans mes fichiers, cette photo est bien en JPG.
Comme toutes les autres, d'ailleurs.
Et comme tu dis, il s'ouvre bien dans Paint.
Et même si on change simplement le suffixe de .JPG en .BMP.
Enigme!!!

Dear Claude
Thanks for your approach.
Dead testicle!
How can you deduct that this it's a BMP file?
I never converted any of my photos in such a format.
I can confirm that this IS a JPG file.
Like all others, though.
And like you say, it opens OK in Paint.
Even if you rename the suffix from .JPG to .BMP.
Enigma!

Again… Re !

…Comment peux-tu déduire que c'est un fichier .BMP?
… How can you deduce that it's a BMP file ?

• Very simple : Just looking at its size !
- Testing it with the canvas function, then, I saved it, and the programme saved as JPG, since it had this extension ! Surprise :
The size was then 371 KiB only, instead of 1,5 MiB before ! That set me thinking…

Thanks for the reply but...
No. This did not change anything.
I just tried the same JPG file in another computer with XNView and while it displayed perfectly fine in this computer, the reported DPI numbers in "Image/Set DPI" were the same in both computers.
I found that following my observation in my preceding reply in this post, all I have to do after having checked "Keep ratio" in "Image/resize", is to save the modified file.
And that's it.
Next time it shows OK.
Weird solution for a weird problem.
But I still love XnView!

So, it's a jpeg with strange different DPI for X & Y!
You can disabled option/General/Adjust zoom if X/Y dpi...

Way to go Pierre!
This is the solution.
Thanks very much.
