Kuvasuhteeseen

Kuvasuhteeseen is the illative form of the Finnish noun kuvasuhde, meaning aspect ratio—the proportional relationship between an image’s width and height. In Finnish media, technology and filmmaking contexts, kuvasuhteeseen is used to indicate the target or resulting ratio to which content is set, cropped, or displayed.

An aspect ratio is typically written as width:height (for example, 16:9 or 4:3) and may also be expressed as a decimal or a video format standard. Common ratios include 4:3 (traditional television), 16:9 (HDTV and most computer displays), 3:2 (often used in photography), and 21:9 (ultra-wide cinema monitors). Some content providers describe the ratio using the term kuvasuhde to specify the intended frame proportions.

In practice, kuvasuhteeseen is relevant to how media is produced, edited, and viewed. When changing the display or output format, content may be cropped to fit a desired kuvasuhde, or additional space may be added around the image through letterboxing or pillarboxing to preserve the original composition. The choice of kuvasuhde affects composition, framing, and viewer perception.

Calculation and planning often involve the ratio p:q, where the height equals width times q/p. For example, a 16:9 frame requires appropriate cropping or resizing to maintain that proportion across different resolutions, such as 1920×1080 or 3840×2160. In Finnish texts, kuvasuhteeseen documents the intended target ratio for project specs, display settings, or media deliveries.
