How do I crop an image to WS TV aspect ratio 1.78:1?

I want to make a slide show of various images, They were made with 35 mm cameras, digital cameras or other means. I want to crop the images to the aspect ratio of modern TVs (16:9 aka 1.78:1). I have PSE 5 and 8. Is thre an easy way I can do this? Thanks.

Thanks. It works great. I wasn't familiar with that tool.

  • How do I crop an image to 3.5 x 5

    I'm trying to match the size and aspect ratio of an older photo.  The old photo was printed at 3.5" x 5.0".
    How do I crop an image with Aperture to 3.5x5.0?
    Thanks.

    When you crop, the only control is the aspect ratio. You can crop an image with a custom ratio by selecting "custom" at the bottom of the aspect ratio popup menu in the Crop HUD that appears while in the Crop command.
    The size only matters when you print the image. In the print dialog you can set the size in inches of the printed image. The dpi of the printed photo will depend on the pixel size of the image divided by the printed size in inches.
    If you want to control the exact dpi of the printed image, you'll need a pixel editor such as Photoshop.

  • How to convert HD 1080 to SD 486 pixel aspect ratio "IN" Shake ?

    Hi,
    I convert 1920X1080p master to 720X486P in Shake because i like the downscaling algorythm.
    But when i put the exported file in Final Cut, it distorts the image to show correct aspect ratio, meaning Shake exported square pixels.
    How can i convert 1920X1080p (square pixels) to 720X486p (CCIR601) DV pixel ratio directly IN Shake rather than allowing FCP to "distort" it to show correct image aspect ratio ?
    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,
    I have found a simple workaround
    Here's what i did in Shake:
    I import the HD 1920X1080 square pixels clip.
    I select HDTV1080 as exporting format in the "Global" tab.
    I type 720X360 as export size in the Parameters 1 tab.
    Render out...
    In FCP, i import and reset the distort control to 0 in the clips motion tab.
    ET VOILÀ. Everything has the correct aspect ratio without compensation distortion in FCP

  • How do I export a file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    I'm exporting an edited scene from an external hard drive to a macbook but the video on the laptop is anamorphic (squished) compared to the original file on the hard drive.  How do I export the file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    Please give the exact specs of your project. If the material is anamorphic, aspect ratio display is a function of the playback device. What is it?

  • How do I crop an image in Flash?

    I've been croping my pictures to use in my flash in photoshop but I want to crop the pictures so they fit the size of my page in flash. Does anyone know how to crop pictures in flash?

    There is no tool to crop the image, you can make an mask on it but still the whole image resides within the stage. May be you can break apart and remove the unwanted sides, but not for practice.

  • How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

    This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
    Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
    But how do you control it in Fireworks?
    I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
    Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
    Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
    This cant be this unintuitive.
    Surely Im missing something...

    Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
    There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
    Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
    If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

  • How do I crop an image to print

    Please help. I have a horizontal image in lightroom that Im trying to upload to Shutterfly. When I upload it to Shutterfly, it crops some of the people out of it. I've tried everything to adjust the size in LR but it still keeps cropping the image. I'm trying to upload it to an 8X12 print.
    I've read everything on this & none of it works.
    WHAT am I doing wrong?
    Thank you!

    You must do the crop to 8x12 in Lightroom, if you want an 8x12 print.
    So, select the crop tool, and then from the dropdown menu, you can select 2x3 or 4x6 (they are equivalent to 8x12) ... I believe the dropdown menu actually shows 6x4 which is the horizontal layout.
    Then when you export this photo and print at 8x12, it will retain the crop you created.

  • How can I properly export an image with corrected pixel aspect ratio?

    Hi, I have a bunch of .png screenshots from old MS-DOS era software that I wish to convert to a 0,8 pixel aspect ratio to simulate the stretch from old CRT monitors.
    I can easily preview it by enabling the pixel aspect ratio correction under the "View" menu, and it looks great. But if I try to "save as" the file as a .png or .gif, it looks blurry and horrible:
    Any hints on how to do this?

    Ok, thanks letting me know. Only last thought is a screen cap of image 2 (that I believe you want) saved to png.
    There's a program called Greenshot that would use the Print screen key and allow you to marquee select and save the shot as a png file. Greenshot - a free and open source screenshot tool for productivity
    That's for Windows, Cmd-Shift-4 on a Mac does the same thing.
    I know it is a pain if you have a hundred of these, but I suppose if you are not in a big hurry you can get it all fixed up.

  • Monitor: in CS2 how do I handle 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio change?

    Hi, my first post here, so please be kind.
    I have used Photoshop 9 successfully for several years using a conventional 4:3 aspect ratio CRT monitor.   I have just upgraded to a flat screen monitor which has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
    I resized the Photoshop window to fill the new screen but transferring photographs from Adobe Bridge they were stretched horizontally.
    This is the first time I have ever changed the format of my monitor and feel that somewhere in Photoshop there must be a feature which accommodates such a change; though I have spent serious time looking.
    I can get the image to display properly by changing the Pixel aspect ratio, but I am certain that would result in saving a distorted image.
    Please what do I need to do?
    Gordon

    You're in luck, there's a pretty easy solution for this:
    You must change your Windows desktop resolution to exactly match the "native" resolution of the new monitor, which is 1920 x 1080 in this case.
    Usually you will be offered that choice automatically, but in some cases you'll need to "install" from a CD or downloaded information about the monitor.
    There may also be some on-monitor controls you'll need to review to ensure it's showing the full 1920 pixels in width.
    What version of Windows are you running, and what model of monitor is it, specifically?

  • Resizing Image and Not Keep Aspect Ratio

    Is there a free program to resize images and not keep the original aspect ratio?
    I need to resize loads of images to 100x100 pixels and have tried Image well and IResize yet they do not seem to have an option to not keep the original aspect ratio.
    Thank you

    Hi, Downsize does not seem all that great according to reviews. Why not see if you can buy PS E' 3 mac -- maybe ebay/amazon (if I remember I only paid about $70 for PS E3) As PS E4 just came out I'm sure someone has PS E3 for sale. You will then have no problems completing your image resizing.
    2 other questions for you..are you using the Mac side of your intel or Windows?
    if your using the Windows side I can let you have PS 6 (PC) ..freegratus.

  • Stretching images while retaining their aspect ratio..?

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a method that will allow me to resize an image (div background or regular img) to fit as tall and wide as the container allows, while retaining the image's native aspect ratio.
    The method I'm currently using is :
    #bg {
        height:100%;
        width:100%;
        position:fixed;
        left:0;
        right:0;
        top:0;
        bottom:0;
        padding:0;
        overflow:hidden;
        z-index:-1000;
    #bg img {
        height:100%;
    <div id="bg"><img src="/images/image0.jpg" /></div>
    However, this method only seems to work when the body is the container, and will only keep one of the two axis within view. I can specify either height:100% or width:100%, but not both because that will skew the images natural aspect ratio.
    What I'm trying to accomplish is to block off 100 pixels at the bottom for navigation, 300 pixels on the right of the viewport for a text column, and leave the rest to be filled by an image that would stretch as much as the space allows (again, while retaining its aspect ratio).
    Your suggestions are welcome!

    Hello
    First of all, you should never use dreamweaver option to modifie an image. Always use the appropriate programe to resize your image ( Photoshop or illustrator). Even if the web standart are 72 dpi you might never know what is the format of your image, and by stretching too much or downscaling it's size too much you will .. well.. have a low result.
    Next : why do you want to keep a zone for navigation ?. Background by default cover everthing, and if you put your navigation on top of it, it will cover the background and make it invisible at that spot because your navigation will be on top of it.
    Anyway What you want to do is first define exactly the maximum size of your Bg minus the zone you want to keep blank. Then put the bg and use option like Margin-right, margin-top to force the image to be where you want it to be.
    Margin-bottom: 100px for exemple.
    You can achieve that in your CSS setting i believe.
    Hope this help.

  • OM-D: how to view entire 4:3 RAW file when aspect ratio set in-camera to 3:2?

    When shooting RAW, the OM-D records 4:3 files no matter what the aspect ratio is set to.  If you set it to 3:2 (for example), the camera records some sort of metadata to communicate this information to Lightroom, which honors the setting.  So far, so good.
    My question is, is there any way to override that setting? I have a photo shot at 3:2, but I can see from the in-camera preview that it'd be a better shot with the whole thing. But I can't figure out how to get LR 4.1rc2 to show me the whole thing!
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Unfortunately, there is no way in LR directly. You may be able to restore the settings directly in the raw file using exiftool (tags "aspectratio" and "aspectframe", there are instructions in some forums I think), but it is generally not advisable to manipulate original raws that way (at least, a backup should be made).

  • How do I get Viewer to be 4:3 aspect ratio?

    Hi, I imported a 4:3 program into a new DVDSP file, but the viewer window is 16:9 and the picture is stretched. How can I make that window have 4:3 proportions? And is it OK to do it now, after the FCE file is already imported?
    Thanks, Bob
