Hi, Yggdrasil, I'm not alltogether ok about VUE changing things... 'cause of the different pixel width of those two renders : The left one is 320 wide, the right one makes only 240 wide. Look at your renderings : In both images, the ship fills the same (horizontal) percentage of the image width, so "focal" didn't change. The right one just "opened" the vertical angle of vision (added "negative" above and below),n and reduced the size of the "print". To compare, take comparable conditions : If you give the same ("negative film") WIDTH to both, let's say 640 * -480- to the "landscape", and 360 * -480- to the "portrait", the ship's size will be the same. I often haggle and argue about Vue's bugs, but think that in this case, Vue does it's job correctly... Gerhard
