For Friday, I thought I'd share a small script/setup that's quite handy for manually resizing/positioning images when you're laying out a stack.
The Setup: 1) Import your image, set its resizeQuality to "good", lock it, group it, and set the margins of the group to 0. 2) Create a button somewhere in the stack (or substack) to serve as a behavior, name it "Image Box Lib" or similar, and give it this script: on resizeControl put long id of img 1 of me into myImage put formattedHeight of myImage/formattedWidth of myImage into thePercent set resizeQuality of myImage to "good" -- OPTIONAL set rect of myImage to left of me,top of me,right of me,top of me + round(width of me * thePercent) end resizeControl 3) Set the behavior of the group to the long id of the button. Now select the image group and drag the right, left, or bottom right/left corners, and the image should proportionally resize. It should maintain decent quality, it will maintain its size because it's locked, and even though it's locked, you can drag-relocate it on the card because it's contained by an unlocked group. If you need better quality, change the "good" option to "best", though resizing will occur a bit slower. Have fun.
