Part of my photo is cut off, or there are black bars
Photos rarely match the shape of your frame. A tall phone photo on a wide frame, or a group shot where someone's head is cut off, both need framing. Adjust Framing lets you slide and zoom each photo so the part you care about is what's on the wall. It never changes your original photo; it only changes how it shows on that frame, and each frame keeps its own framing (a wide frame and a tall frame can show the same photo differently).
In the app
- Photos tab > Uploaded Photos (or My Art) > tap the photo.
- Tap Adjust Framing. With more than one frame it asks which frame to adjust.
- Drag to move the photo and pinch to zoom until it looks right.
- Tap Save Framing. Reset puts it back.
Fix what's on the frame now: Frames > your frame's Settings > Adjust Current Photo's Framing (works only while a photo, not a video, is showing).
The app has no rotate button; to turn a photo, use the website (below).
On the website (nimbusframe.net)
- Sign in, open the photo.
- In Your Frame(s) click the green Modify button under the frame you want to change.
- On Edit Layout, drag and resize the box around the part to show. The panel on the right has Rotate (90° either way), Show All / Fill Frame, Center H / Center V, and Width, Height and Zoom boxes. Revert undoes changes you haven't saved yet.
- To reuse the framing, tick the other frame types listed under Apply to before you save.
- Click Save (top right).
Works for Nimbus library art too; framing only affects your own frames.
Quick answers
- Black bars: the photo's shape differs from the frame's. Use Fill Frame (crops to fill) or Show All (fits everything, may show bars).
- Picture sideways: use Rotate in Edit Layout. It turns the picture inside that frame's crop; it does not change how the frame hangs.
- Frame hangs tall (or wide) and the whole picture looks wrong: check the frame's Orientation setting (Landscape or Portrait in the app's frame Settings) says how it physically hangs. A Meural on a rotating mount shows it read-only, set by how the Canvas is mounted. That decides which frame shape you are cropping for.
- Only some of my photos show: check Orientation Lock in the frame's settings. In the app it's an On/Off switch next to Adult Content (on the website, Yes/No). When it's on, the frame only shows images that match its orientation or that you've set up for it, which can hide a lot of photos. Turn it off to show everything.
- Mizar on a TV with edges cut off: that is the TV's picture size setting, not Adjust Framing; see "Getting started" (Screen Fit / Just Scan / Full Pixel).
