So it has to be proportional.<br /><br />If you don't use a background image you can insert images and change their sizes by dragging corners. They will retain their proportions. However unless you have a picture proportional to your chart the result gives you a lot of white background.<br /><br />However, you can add more than one image and place in different parts of the chart. Make sure you send the image to the back.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714467049734696980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-5487031876163186362009-05-26T16:42:54.071-07:002009-05-26T16:42:54.071-07:00Randy,

That is a prerelease copy (and may not even have the auto update I just mentioned above).<br /><br />Go to:<br /><br />http://www.rootsmagic.com/download<br /><br />and download the current version and install that and you should be up and running.RootsMagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316415076585171608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-46023853262030561552009-05-26T16:38:19.390-07:002009-05-26T16:38:19.390-07:00Here is the help section from the chart maker abou...Here is the help section from the chart maker about background images.<br /><br /> Image – Lets you select an image to use as the background. RootsMagic Chart will stretch the image to fit the canvas, so the image needs to be proportional to the canvas size so it isn’t distorted, and also needs to be a high enough resolution so that it isn’t grainy when it is stretched to fit the canvas.<br /><br />So it doesn't look very good for adjusting image size. Bummer.<br /><br />I guess that is something Bruce might want to try to work on after he gets all the fires stomped out from the program.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714467049734696980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-29907853674294012922009-05-26T16:35:55.458-07:002009-05-26T16:35:55.458-07:00Randy,
