    I need help w/ size and cropping

    Hello, I am sooo new to PS (only two weeks or so) so please forgive me for this silly question. I have been reading and reading and still can't fiqure it out.

    When I open an image that was taken w/a digital camera at about 6x10 and the lab says I need to resize it to be 4x5.....so I changed the size under image - resize and enter 4x5 and then I cropped but it is out of proportion.

    I tried to crop then resize but it didn't work. What should I do to get the image 4x5 and cropped?

    Thanks for any advice, I sure love this website....

    Hi Tracy - welcome to RP!

    Your main problem seems to be different aspect ratios. A 6x10 doesn't have the same aspect ratio as a 4x5. Here are a couple of suggestions you might try.

    1. You can select constrain proportions, change the 10 to a 5 and your image will go to 3x5. Then you can change the canvas size to 4x5 and get a print with borders that need to be trimmed off but will contain all of the image in proper proportion

    2. You can select the crop tool, size the tool to 4x5 and decide which part of the image to crop out.

    There's also some info in this thread about aspect ratio.

      Question about Resizing 8 x10 to other Print Sizes
      by rnbluvva
      I was wondering... I have an 8 x 10 crop of an image that I want to make into 5 x 7 and 4 x 6 prints as well. When I resize the image to make it a 5 x 7 using Photoshop there is some space left and I have to take the crop tool to crop out the extra bit. This causes some loss of the image. How do I fix...

      I hate cropping...ugh!

      I have an image that according to ps is 14x9 inches. I'd like an 8x10.
      No matter what I try, nothing works.

      I've tried cropping using the 8x10 as my values. Which, width wise,
      isn't enough. If I rotate my image (making it a 9x14) and change the
      crop values to 10x8,...

      resizing and cropping
      by Albert
      Hi, I hope this makes sense. I have an image that is 2048 pix x 1536pix which at 300 dpi I print at gives me a photo of 6.827 ins x 5.12 ins. I know that I can resample ticking bicubic and altering the size to 7ins x 5.25ins and then cropping to 7ins x 5ins that I print at. My question is really this,...

      Cropping to a Specific Size
      by T Paul
      PhotoShop 7 and above:
      A feature that is really useful is the crop to size option. Enter the print size and resolution on the Options bar and then drag out a crop. This resamples the image to your exact size - the crop will always be proportional no matter how large or small the marquee is. This...
