Re: [photoshop-beginners] I need Help

You've got PS so use it.  As everyone has said you can't resize a non square rectangle to get a square and not lose something.  Change the canvas size to a square, leaving the largest dimension alone.  That way there is no cutting.   Fill in the new part that is created using whatever tool you want to to do the filling (clone tool, etc)  Resize down to the proper size you want.  Or, use the rectangular marquee tool set at a fixed ratio of 1 to 1.  Crop the image the best you can to keep most of the original content.  Then if necessary resize using Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction)

Hi  So even if I used aspect ratio  which to me is confusing since if you check the constrain box the hight won't match... So do you think i should buy the software for this jewelery making it says will fit any picture perfect.. the cost is only 9.98... also would Quark be a better program for doing this sort of sizing Thanks Michele --- On Thu, 8/5/10, broodmare1@nststlouis.com <broodmare1@nststlouis.com> wrote: From: broodmare1@nststlouis.com <broodmare1@nststlouis.com> Subject: Re: [photoshop-beginners] I need Help To: photoshop-beginners@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, August 5, 2010, 1:37 PM    Unless the photo you have is a perfect square, it will never work inside a perfect square if you transform or stretch the pic to FIT in  your perfect square.   Is like forming a box into a round hole....doesn' t match up right....  :)   ----- Original Message ----- From: ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ To: photoshop-beginners @yahoogroups. com Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 12:33 PM Subject: [photoshop-beginner s] I need Help Hi All  I posted a qestion yesterday and didn't see it posted. Here I go again explaining my problem.. I take my own photo's and I've reduced them to 0.8750 for both the width & hight the reason I do this  size so the photos will fit the crystal glass square I use for making jewelery. Then I open a new canvas to same size and drag the reduced photo to the new canvas. Then I undo the original photo. My problem is Most of the photos look fine but I've had some remarks that some look distored... So how can I fix this problem Thanks Michele --- On Sun, 8/1/10, Tom Williams <tomwilliams54@ gmail.com> wrote: From: Tom Williams <tomwilliams54@ gmail.com> Subject: Re: [photoshop-beginner s] Flower picture altered in Photoshop To: photoshop-beginners @yahoogroups. com Date: Sunday, August 1, 2010, 10:50 AM   I thought you did a beautiful job with the photo.

There is also a link to download the layered psd file which is 11.5 megs.  I kind of like the results.
