Let me clarify the all sides equally. If you upsize by 15%, then all dimensions are at 15%, not just the short or long sides....for example.... :)

equally. Without that, then anything you stretch or shrink will end up
distorted, unless you have a REALLY sharp eye and can get it right just
because. The aspect ratio,for example of a 4x6 photo has an aspect ratio
of 3:2 and an 8x10 is 5:4. You can't turn the whole image into a perfect
square without either cutting off part of the image OR adding white to the
short sides. Even if you bought this $10 software you speak of, it can't
convert stuff without some sort of distortion or something else
either....at least I don't see how. a 4x6 just will not fit into a 4x4 no
matter how you do it without sacrificing something.
You can crop
your image square...of course trying to get as much of the good parts in
the square as you can, or put your oddball sized pic into your square and
then hopefully be able to clone in, or by some other method, data from the
photo to fill in the white zones you'll end up with should you decide to
keep your whole image and not crop it square.
Quark won't make a
rectangle fit into a square either. Quark is basically a page layout
software...newspapers, etc.
I've saved your photo to toss it into PS
to see how far off you are, etc...

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

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....Â

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

I thought you did a beautiful job with the photo. I
also want to thank you
for all the information you have just sent in
about the flower and how you
did it. Thanks for  for including the
information on your web page. This
will come in handy as I using
photoshop.

I took a picture of a flower growing in my backyard and
played with it in
Photoshop CS5. Don't think I used anything that
hasn't been available in
many previous versions of PS. If you want
to take a peek, go to
http://www.joetanse y.com/flower. It's just
two pictures, before and
after.
There is also a link to download
the layered psd file which is 11.5
megs. I kind of like the
results.
