      I'm working on a project with 3 projectors in a 3x1 layout. The first projector has an output resolution of 1200 x 800, and the other 2 projectors are standard HD 1920 x 1080. I attempted to make a mask so I could try and map without being plugged into the projectors, so I could save time by doing the work at home. I created an image in Photoshop (square pixels) with a dimension of 5120 x 1080. Each rectangle I created I sized to each projector's pixel dimensions: 1200 x 800, 1920 x 1080, 1920 x 1080. I placed the rectangles side by side and aligned them. I made sure the canvas was 5120 x 1080 and exported the image as a .jpg.

      When bringing in the respective image into Izzy with the setting on the projector actor of "keep aspect ratio" on, the rectangles weren't proportionate to the displays via stage setup. They seemed a bit short.  When viewing in Izzy Map, you can see that they don't quite fit. What am I doing wrong?

          I'd need your Isadora file and the mask image you made in order to try to help. The screenshot alone doesn't have enough information for me to check all the possible variables and behaviors.

             Are you using projection blending?
            As @Woland mentioned, we will need to look at your full configuration to fully understand what is happening.
