robo82 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hello all I've searched the forums and haven't found a thread to answer this unless I've missed it. But what I need is to be able to resize normal sized images taken from a standard camera down to 504x104 pixels. All I've managed so far is to distort the images is there a way I can avoid this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai7 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 In Paint.NET, there will always be a "blur" over the image when you resize, I'm sorry to say it can't be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well the use of the word "distort" wasn't really defined. "Maintain aspect ratio" will ensure that the size of the image is correct -- it won't be stretched unfairly in width or height. Using "Best Quality" will ensure that super sampling is used. (Instead of bilinear, bicubic, or nearest neighbor.)

robo82 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Sorry guys I didn't make myself very clear, I'm tied to a particular size ratio. This can't be changed and it won't allow me to upload images smaller than the size stipulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) As a first step, crop your oversize image to the correct aspect ratio. In the Tools window, click on the Rectangle Select tool. In the toolbar, change Normal to Fixed Ratio, and set Width to 504 and Height to 104. Make and position a rectangular selection, then crop to selection. Image > Crop to Selection Next, resize down to 504x104 with Maintain Aspect Ratio checked. If you make a new image from scratch, starting with a canvas that has the correct aspect ratio will simplify things when resizing.

david.atwell Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It's also bad advice. Don't follow it. There's never a reason to cross edit a Paint.NET file in MS Paint, and it'll add unnecessary distortions to the image. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales.
