0080900 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) How do I resize an image to fit a banner without having the image being squashed? Let's say my banner size is 800 x 100 or 728 x 90 How would I resize my image to fit the banner without ruining the quality of the image and having it looked all squashed? Have a look at my attachment for a sample of the banners I am working on Photo editing tools I use are GIMP/Paint.NET Any help is greatly appreciated Edited May 26, 2010 by 80900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) Use the Rectangular Selection tool. In the toolbar change the setting from "Normal" to "Fixed Ratio". Set the ratio to the dimensions of your banner. Then make the selection as you want it. Anything outside the boundaries of the selection will be gone when you next, Crop to Selection. This will give you an image cropped to the correct aspect ratio. Lastly, resize to the finished dimensions that you want.
