Basically all screenshots and scene images are displayed skewed, why is it happening and does one go about fixing the problem?

    you have to wait until the next update.

    For now, use Apple-Shift-4

    you can also just take pics when playing your game on the iPhone.

    And

    Apple + Shift + 4 + Spacebar

    or Apple + Shift + 3

    What OS are you all on when you see these tilted screen shots. I don't see it.

    I am on Snow Leopard.

    I only seems to skew for iPhone game sizes. iPad games seem fine.

    yeah. iPad is fine. iPhone is skewed.
    I'm on snow leopard 10.6.3 (latest version). on a macbook pro 17" if that makes a difference.

    A note on the iPad version, I haven't tested this yet, but I assume when you start with an iPad project from scratch, there isn't a problem with the screenshots, as mentioned by others above.

    However, if you convert an iPhone project into an iPad project(which I'm sure Isn't the appropriate way to do things anyway) the established iPhone proportion stays put making the newly captured iPad screenshots pillar boxed in black.

    I'm not sure whether anybody else has posted a solution (maybe in another thread). This is what I do:

    1) Exit the preview.
    2) Click on the green 'maximize' button on the top left of the window to enlarge/reset the window.
    3) Preview again.
    4) Take another screenshot and...it is corrected!

    I've tried it a couple of times with different projects and it seems to work. Can someone else try this as well?

    Before you fix the skewed images, please get us the following things:

    - Make the text display consistent between GS viewer and iPhone.
    - Add Helvetica as a font.
    - Fix tagging and text alignment (these things don't work!)
  • SparkyidrSparkyidr Member Posts: 2,033
    also.. if you convert an iPad project to an iPhone project, that seems to work ok too.

    @JackBQuick - great find. Actually though, when you 1st open your project, if you maximise straight away then it doesnt skew at all

    @beefy_clyro: I'm glad it worked for you, too. I happened upon it by accident. Thanks for your tip about maximizing from the beginning.
