The normal screen resolution of monitor displays is in a ratio of 4:3, ie, 800x600. Is it possible to render in another resolution without distortion? I am interested specifically in 3:2. And if this can be accomplished with fractint, will the saved render need to be cropped, or will it be saved as the current images are, but in the different ratio (3:2)? I realize that in the 3:2 format there will be part of the raster not being used. That is ok, but will the unsued part be part of the saved render, or only the active pixels?

I have looked through the fractint documentation and didn't find anything referencing this. This is not to say it isn't there, but only that I didn't locate it.

If there is anyone with experience in this area who reads this listing, I would appreciate either direction(s) on how this is to be accomplished, or reference(s) to the documentation so I can find and do it for myself.

The reason I need to do this is because my printer has paper sized in the 3:2 ratio and what I now have to do now is dither the finished images to fit the paper size. It is an acceptable fix, and I have sold many in this format, but I would like to have the ability to print an image without <any> distortion whatsoever, so that the printed image is an actual representation of the raster display.

If this can not be accomplished, I can continue to march as I have been, but if I can do this at 3:2 I would be extremely pleased.
