framing masks

[jedgarpark]

it would be great to add optional framing masks to match the different resolutions/aspect ratios. Either viewfinder-style outline or full black blocking mask so you can properly frame in the viewfinder.

@FoamyGuy does your code help with this at all?

I looked at this one a few times and did think about it a bit. I am not certain that I understand fully what this means but based on how I think I understand it I do think the overlay feature can help with this.

I do think it depends a little bit on how the preview vs. photo saving works. I haven't paid super close attention to figure out if the current preview represents the entirety of the saved photo or if some of it gets cut off. The different possible resolution settinfs could factor into that as well, so far I've only used the overlay with the smallest few settings.

In order to be used we would need to get a set of aspect ratio frame images created and scaled properly to fit the preview window. For the larger ones it may be necessary to create them smaller and utilize the scaling from #33 so that they can fit into memory.

right on, yes, I think an overlay of a thin grey rectangle would be good so that it's clear when you're framing a shot what exactly will be in the photo. this sort of thing but just one rectangle and it varies ratio with the preset resolutions.

I made a photoshop document that has all of the sizes at true scale, but i could conform all of those to screen size with proper ratios if needed.
