SpriteRenderer Image getting stretched down - image

I had a spriterenderer for a square but I want to change it from looking like a basic rectangle to having an image instead. So I tried changing the sprite renderer "Sprite" to the image I wanted but whenever I do so the image is looking pixelated, ugly and stretched and I can't rescale it properly.
Before:
After:

The image may look ugly because it is stretched. In your hierarchy, select the GameObject with the SpriteRenderer. Then set the x,y,z scales back to 1.
If it still looks weird, select the image in your assets folder, and play around with the quality & filter settings (Don't forget to click apply). Hopefully this helps with making the image look nicer.
If not, ensure that your image asset is not a low resolution either.
I'm not really sure what you mean about it not rescaling properly. If you could please elaborate then hopefully we can fix it :)

Logo looks different after uploading

Hi, in the first picture you can see what logo I want to upload.
But, after uploading it changes it's color specification a little bit, shown in the second picture (right down corner). It adds the black color.
Could you please help me out?
The code I'm using:
axes(handles.axes13)
imshow('logo4.png')
The problem is in the original png. Here, the top of the logo is set as transparent while the bottom is white. So, when you plot the images using imshow, you have this effect. Either you change the logo png or you can pretend as this problem never existed by setting the background color as white when you load the image.
logo4 = imread('logo4.png,'BackgroundColor',[1 1 1]);
imshow(logo4)
The problem is still there, it´s just someone else´s problem now.
profit.

Powerpoint change picture without changing cropping area

I´ve a cropped picture in a powerpoint layer and I want to change the picture without changing the size of the cropping area.
If I change the image by clicking "change picture" the cropping area resizes too, to show the whole picture.
How can I do that without changing the cropping area?
In Apple Keynote you only have to drag the picture you want to the cropping area and you only have to align it.
From my experience, I'm afraid you have to set the crop manually by "Format Picture" -"Crop" to remain the same cropping area when you replace a picture.
This isn't much help, but Libreoffice will do this. Crop, resize, then select your image and re-insert a new image - formatting will be the same, perfect for when you want to quickly redo formatting for same sized images.
In my experience, a picture that you insert to replace an existing one, using Change Picture, will "inherit" the crop&size settings of the old picture IF the old&new images are actually of the same size (in pixels) - if not, the new one will revert to the default crop&size so you will have to redo these manually.
This changes if the image to-be-replaced has any crop setting applied to it in Powerpoint. In this case, the replacing image will not inherit those, and might also be inserted with a different size&position, leading most likely to an unwanted result & further work needed.
A workaround I found is to first remove the crop setting from the old picture, replace with new image, then reapply the crop. This is still less work than having to manually redo the size&position (or to define these based on numbers copied from the PropertiesPane of the old image).
Quick work around: if you plan to have multiple same size images and you wish to use change image to swap the content on each page (something we do with floor plans all the time); don't bother cropping them.
Put the whole image in and crop it by sticking shapes on top of it, which are the same color as the presentation background color, like a mask.
optionally crop the images only when the whole presentation is finished.

Scaling images down looks awful

I have an image for a mobile game and im scaling it down depending on the screen but the image looks awful, for example some lines dissapear, its like the image squeezes and the lines are so thin they simply dissapear. How can i solve this problem?
In As3 Bitmaps have property smoothing, and by default It's false.
Set it to true, and you will have better results.

Geoserver ExternalGraphic draw icon incorrect

I run into a problem with Geoserver.
I'm drawing multiple icons which each represent a place all over my map using ExternalGraphic.
But geoserver didn't draw them correctly as they are. I attach an image as the result of geoserver drawing:
As you can see, the 2 car icon, both got cut off around 1 pixel comapre to its original size (1 got cut off from top down while another from bottom up). It make same icon look differentfrom place to place. And i think because of this cutting, after lose some pixel, they resize the image back to its original size, which make the $ on top left look blurry compare to the one next to it.
Also as in External graphic document mention, i didn't use any Size attribute so they won't get resize or anything. So i'm not sure why the image got cut off like that.
Any1 can help me about this case ? Thank you in advance.
I suggest you open a report at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS attaching one of the images and your style document.

Displaying a portrait image in KML without it being rotated to landscape

I am trying to reference images with a greater height than width (portrait format) in KML script for Google Earth; however, the image always comes out as landscape, or rotated left 90 degrees, e.g.
<img id="id_photo" src="2012_01_21-dscf03.jpg" width="500"></img>
I've tried everything I could think of. Is there a image tag to correct this, e.g., format="portrait"?
Thanks,
Walter
This sounds like an example of EXIF only rotation. Which GE probably doesn't honour.
Some cameras etc, 'rotate' a image so its the right way up by setting a flag in the EXIF data. The raw JPG itself, is still in the landscape format.
A display (or convert) program, should hopefilly notice this 'rotation required' flag, and rotate the image.
But Google Earth probably doesnt honor it, so you are just seeing the baseline image as its actully stored (unrotated)
Recommend trying one of the applications mentioned here:
http://jpegclub.org/losslessapps.html
(many note they have automatic correction - so should "fix" your jpg files)
This is already an old thread, but I stumbled on the same problem. And did not find a solution for my situation. Eventually I found a way around, so I thought I'd share it here.
Basically the solution is to rotate the offending images twice, once 90° to the left and then back again.
What you had was an image with a width larger than the height, but with an orientation tag that tells an application to rotate it 90° (but Google Earth does not).
After rotating it twice it is an image with width and height switched, and an orientation tag that says not to rotate it.
Now any application, including Google Earth, will display it correctly.
I used ExifTool to write the tags for all my images to a CSV file, created a list from that with all the pictures to rotate, and used that list to tell IrfanView twice to rotate them.
