Single, centered image on LED screen, not tiles. How?

[MartinBlomberg]

Hi,

I struggle to make an image fit on a wide LED screen. It's a square image and I want it centered on the LED-screen.

Even though I've unchecked "Tile Image" boxes (Horizontal and Vertical) the image tiles. Since the size of the LED most likely will vary I don't want to have different files.

 

Can someone help me figure this one out? Thanks!

First:  The way that the tool works is that, in the Edit Array Image dialog, 100% scaling means that the image fills the width of the given screen/array.  If resulting image is than taller than the screen/array, a portion of the image is then not seen/used.  You can use "Vertical Shift" to specify what portion of the image is seen/used.

 

Second:  The Spotlight version of the tool only automatically tiles the given image. The Landru Design version of the tool adds a "Tile Image" toggle to the above dialog, allowing you to do things like reduce the scale so that you see the entire "taller" image on a wiser screen, center the image (using Horizontal Shift) and not tile the image, as below:

 

Does that answer your question?

Thanks! I think it answers the question, but do I have to buy a plugin for this specific feature then?

Warm regards, Martin
