Uploading image

[liwenna]

Hey Gilis,

The imageobject in the slideobject should be able to display your
image reliably in the way you wish it to be displayed... I don't think
the canvas object will solve your problem. But, as with everything in
research,  make sure you've controlled all the necessary variables. I
am not too sure about what's going on but it seems to me that your
image is larger than either your display is, OR larger than the
displaysize e-prime uses....

Under start menu, settings, control panel; display settings, find the
current size of your display in pixels.... I use a 1280*1024 pixels
display for instance.

Next: you mention your image is very big.... is it's actual size (in
pixels) bigger than your display is??? (in my case that would be over
1280 or 1024 pixels on either dimension). Open the picture in viewer
and choose 'actual size' to see if it actually fits into your
screen...  If not... use photoshop or gimp to resize it. You simply
should not use an imagesize that your display can't show ...

Third (and I actually think that this is where your problem lies):
when e-prime runs an experiment it resets the display settings to it's
own 'settings'. By default e-prime reconfigures the display to 640*480
pixels. This means that if your image is bigger than that.. it won't
fit on the screen. It also means that pretty much everything in your
experiment will look rather 'chunky'. Go to the properties of the
experiment object (e-prime logo at the top of your experiment tree),
choose devices; choose display and set the display size to the actual
size of your display.

I guess you'd better reset all the properties of the imageobject in
your slide (size 100% you can resize later, or even better: set it at
the actual pixel dimensions your image has) and set the x and y
coordinates to center and have a look at how e-prime displays your
image now.

I hope it will be fixed this way!

Best of luck,

liw
