What object styles setting for fitting an image without changing it?

[MarieMeyer]

I have a series of frames, all on the same object style. I'm using automation to fill them with images. The frames are 100pt x 50pt. Some of the images are that size; some of them are 66pt x 50pt. What object style settings do I use so that the 66pt x 50pt images will appear centered in the frame without changes to their proportions?

Use Frame Fitting Options:

I've been doing that, trial and error - but I'm still getting distorted images.

From the screen Steve showed you, turn on Auto-Fit and set Fitting to Fill Frame Proportionately or Fit Content Proportionally depending on the aspect ratio of the images and the frames. And don't forget to select the center reference point in the proxy, as he is showing you.

Below are the results of Fit Frame Proportionally and Fit Content Proportionally.

The former assume the frame size is the most critical sizing element, so photo fits frame to smallest dimension and crops off the other dimension (either width or height depending on photo to frame relationship).

The latter assumes the photo content is the most critical sizing element; the frame would need to be adjusted to fit.
