How do I resize a vertical photograph to fit a horizontal format without distorting the image? I do not want to crop the photo because I will lose parts of the image. I was given specific dimensions, 427x320 or a similar ratio, and this works for images that were taken horizontally, but not the vertical shots. I am very new to this process and am not sure what terminology to use, so I need some pretty basic help.

you can distort in PS by changing the image size. But YOU DONT WANT TO DO THAT (the image will look like shit). Use the arrows at the bootom of the library module to switch from horizontal to vertical and vise versa

I use the arrows in the library module to flip, but then the image is not facing the right way, if that makes sense. I need to shrink the vertical photo so that it fits into the size of a hortizontal photo window.

you will have to crop it or image resize in PS (distort). But as i said before: You dont want to distort.

Without cropping? Impossible.

on export check the box resize image to fit. Then put in your dimensions.

You can do 1 of 3 things:

1. Crop

2. Distort

3. Size to Fit within the Dimensions

Thank you.

I am typing in my dimensions in the resize portion of the export, but it is keeping the image in a vertical format. I've tried typing as both 427x320 and 320x427, both keep it vertical. Where do I distort?
