dlewis23 Posted September 6, 2006 CID Share Posted September 6, 2006 ok this one has been bothering me most of the day, i have a photoshop document and i need to resize it but when ever i go to resize it from 2000x2000 to 4000x4000 insted of keeping it in a 4:3 format it goes to a 16:9 wirescreen format and everything gets streached out. and i can not figure out why its doing this ive never had this happen before. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? i need to avoid having to recreate a whole new one since it took me 3 weeks to create this.

FallowEarth Posted September 6, 2006 CID Share Posted September 6, 2006 What file type is it? .bmp, .jpg, .gif, etc. and how are you trying to resize? Image > Image Size? Are you enabling the "maintain aspect ratio" feature (or whatever its called)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted September 7, 2006 CID Share Posted September 7, 2006 That makes more sense... If you go to the Image menu / Pixel aspect ratio.. what's it at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted September 7, 2006 CID Share Posted September 7, 2006 Have you tried saving it as a jpeg and resizing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 7, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 7, 2006 Have you tried saving it as a jpeg and resizing it? if i did that i would loose a ton of image quality, i have to keep in a raw format that will keep the layers so it has to stay in a psd.

RAINMAKA Posted September 9, 2006 CID Share Posted September 9, 2006 out of curiosity what would cause a picture to be such a large file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 9, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 9, 2006 out of curiosity what would cause a picture to be such a large file? its really high res, and the DPI is 2400. normally its 72. the reason i had to resize it is becasue when i have it at full res. the file will be about 8gb when its done and i don't have that much ram in my computer so keeping it at a size that is under my 4gb of ram makes working it not so slow.

Empty Posted October 18, 2006 CID Share Posted October 18, 2006 if i may add a little advice,lol i know this has been solved but i wish to add if you check your constrain proportion when you resize the image it stops it from warping n looking stretched or squashed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
