I am using PS 20.0.8 on my Mac. I have a picture that is 45.33" x 68.44". I want to resize to 12" x12" without distorting the image. I've tried several methods on You Tube but they don't seem to work. Any suggestions?

You can not make rectangular image > square by dragging side inward, that will distort pixels and there is no known way to make rectangular pixel based image > square and to include all details. Follow instructions already provided or activate the Crop Tool, enter 12in in two text fields after the first drop-down in the options bar to crop to that specific dimensions and that's it.

When I do that too much of the image is cropped out.

Then the Aspect ratio of the image subject matters is not suitable for a 1:1 aspect ratio images add canvas boarders to make tthe image square for example if you have a 8" x 10" or 10" x 8" image make the canvas 10" x 10'. You will loose no image content be hve boarders top and bottom of left and right.
