           Summary: Batch resizing: Resize Images - Prepare to print: aspect
                    ratio is not preserved
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

If this plugin processes picture which is square (~3000x3000 pixels) with settings - use paper 10x15 cm, the image is resampled to fill whole 10x15 area - side effect is that every pixel in horizontal area is multiplied 1.5. The people are fat, circles are elipsopid.

I think, than no one expects, that someone will change aspect ratio of photo. It is very unusual.

The plugin should only resample the image to about 1200x1200 pixels (for 10x15 print in 300DPI), but preserve aspect ratio and let user choose in order of printings, if the picture should be square or 10x15 with white bordes.
