This Dashboard widget makes calculating multiple screen resolutions simple and convenient.
Ratio is a useful Apple OS X Dashboard widget that enables you to calculate common screen resolutions of various sizes. With Ratio, you can conveniently work with several image sizes and element scaling as well as other common CG calculations. This widget is particularly tailored for motion graphics and interactive design.
What's more, Ratio comes with presets for HD, NTSC, PAL, Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, Microsoft Zune HD, Windows Mobile, and Surface, Fullscreen, and Widescreen PC, among others. This makes it easier to select the appropriate setting for your particular device or monitor.
The widget's double arrows also allow users to swap width and height settings easily. This functionality is particularly useful when one needs to switch an iPhone or Zune HD from vertical to horizontal orientation quickly. Additionally, store displays that use vertical HD monitors can also be easily dealt with using Ratio.
Users can also set a specific aspect ratio as a master using the lock icon. This feature is particularly handy as it enables you to input any number you wish in any field and still maintain the same aspect ratio.
The auto button on this widget calculates only exact pixel matches, with no half-pixel skewing as experienced with Photoshop's "keep aspect ratio." Ratio's auto button can be limited to 1, 2, 4, 10, and other integers. This makes it much easier to find resolutions suitable for WMV-safe compression.
In conclusion, Ratio is a reliable and easy-to-use tool suitable for anyone who needs to work with screen resolutions for various devices and monitors.
