Hi Riley...

I'm not seeing this. Perhaps you can send me a sample (DITA file plus image)?

Note that even though DITA itself does not use the concept of frames, FrameMaker still uses an anchored frame to contain the image element. The frame is "shrink wrapped" to the size of the image. Frame sets the height and width attributes so that the specified DPI is achieved, but these attribute values are not exposed within the FM UI (FM8 DITA does not, DITA-FMx does). It is possible to stretch an image non-uniformly if you grab one of the grips. If you open the XML file in a text editor, check the height and width attributes .. if the image really is a circle, these values should be the same. If you delete the height and width attributes from the XML and open the file in FM, it will revert to the "native" image size. You can also reimport the image (Esc,f,i,f) in FM to reset any unintended stretch.

Also, note that you cannot make use of any of FM's special image properties and cannot use multiple objects within a frame (callouts, Frame art, etc).

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

...scott
