I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere or is obvious. I've tried the various menus and can't find the proper settings.
Is it possible to batch do this with irfanview?
make the pic a specific aspect ratio by adding borders either on top+bottom, or left+right, but without modifying the image in any other way (the dimensions of the image, without counting the border, is still the same).
I describe the problem somewhat better in this thread (with sample pictures of what I want done)
notes: the options seem to be in percentage, or fixed number of pixels, but not as percentage of the opposite side (that'd solve the problem. by opposite side, I mean new_width = old_width; new_height = 1.5 x old_width )
the pics are of various sizes (they're scans)
the object of this to avoid automatic cropping from print centers like costco or walmart (they don't have an option to not crop; the option to add white borders just makes the cropped image smaller, and adds borders on all four sides - kind of stupid IMHO)
PS: if this has to be scripted, can it be done so that the pixel parity is checked and adjusted for? the reason is if we canvas resize from 1500 to 1551 for instance, there will be 1/2 pixel interpolation. we just add a pixel to make it from 1500 to 1552.
