Why does Google Notebook resize my pictures (and doesn't retain aspect ratio)?

Why does Google Notebook resize my pictures (and doesn't retain aspect ratio)? When I try to clip a picture by selecting (highlighting) it in a web page, and then I click "note this" then the picture is transferred to my Google Notebook. However, when I try to look at it in my notebook it has been resized and the aspect ratio is not retained. Even if I attempt to resize it within Google Notebook, it will snap back to its distorted version, usually in the same session or even within seconds. The picture I am trying to clip is 640x480, but it snaps to 245x480 in my notebook.

Finally found something in Google groups. It worked for me.


Yes, I (finally) figured out how to (kind of) fix this!!!! :-D

First, open your mini notebook in the status bar. Then click "Pop Out"
and it will open your notebook in a new window. Next, maximize this
window.

Once you have image you want to note open in another window, right
click the image and select "Note this".

A new note will be created with the image resized down, however it
will now instead be the size of your maximized window of your (now)
not-so-mini notebook.
