Kolkata banners

Hi there!

Thanks for adding banners to Kolkata's districts, but be advised that Wikivoyage banners have to be cropped to the proportions 7:1 (the width is 7 times the height) and wider than 1800px. For instance 2100x300 is a good size. ϒpsilon (talk) 19:37, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ypsilon, Thank you very much. I am using CropTool. Any idea how to maintain 7:1 ratio ? Thanks in advance. Schwiki (talk) 19:41, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately I've never heard of c:Commons:CropTool before, so I cannot help with that. Wikivoyage:Banner_Expedition#How_do_I_help.3F suggests using GIMP, a free software which exists for all common operating systems. (If you happen to be a Mac user, Preview is the fastest way).

Thanks again. Yes, I'm a Mac user and started working in Preview.Schwiki (talk) 19:57, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
