        it is depreciated. (seen as red in version 2.x)

        You are probably best to use the new Scaler (supports GPU and CPU)

            @camilozk,

            Well, the main reason I deprecated this actor was because I didn't have any signal that it was being used. But I guess it was. It's not such a difficult job to update it for GPU and CI. 
            Anyone else? Is this actor useful?

              well, scaler seems to be the same, except for lacking the "force4:3" feature. any other difference?

                @camilozk,

                They are very different. Scaler scales to a specified fixed resolution. Limit Resolution only scales if the resolution exceeds a specified threshold.

                  got it.

                  for what I am currently doing with the actor, scaler does the job.

                    I don't seem to need something different than scaler

                      I guess the usefulness of this actor is if you, let's say, have a bin of pictures with many different resolutions, and then you're using the 'picture' input of the movie player to switch between them. If the resolution goes above a certain point, the Limit Resolution actor would jump in and ensure that the resolution is not too high.

                      On the other hand, a better rule of thumb would be to have all the pictures at the size you want them in the first place. So I guess I won't worry about this actor.
                      Best Wishes,
