I've had a quick look and haven't seen this mentioned before but wondering if I'm the only one who finds this somewhat annoying about IPR... would like to be able to zoom/drag but not have IPR render beyond the frame boundary. Juanjo is this doable without too much fuss?

Yea I always thought the zoom/pan in IPR was a bit weird too. As when you pan too far from camera point the image gets quite weird/distorted it seems. Not a big deal for me, as I know when I get too far...and sometimes it's nice to be able to stretch out just beyond the camera to select something...

For me it would be useful when I need to fine-tune the composition of a light or object close to the frame boundary which is way off in the distance, but I also need to see how it will look at final render within the frame boundary. IPR as it stands requires some guesswork when zooming panning.
