Output aspect ratio

Set the output canvas from the selected platform placement or production template, not from a reference image. Choose the option that matches this request: complete children's picture book working canvas — 4:3 (recommended). Use a different ratio only when a verified placement or production template requires it. Use the selected template for final delivery.
