I have a photo that is currently an 8x10 ready for print. I would like to take that same photo and size it to 5x7. How would I do this?

I have tried cropping with the 5x4 preface on as well as ratio of 5:4 but have had no luck.

I would just simply create a new document with a 5 x 7 canvas, drag the larger photo in, then use transform to resize it to your liking. Cropping will be automatic

Those sizes have a different Aspect Ratio. You will need to crop or distort the image to change Aspect Ratios. And also resize for print resolution for want to use. It is easy with an action that uses my Plug-in Script to crop landscape to landscape and Portrait to portrait all you need do is record the two numbers for the aspect ratio. 4 5 or 4 5 the plug-in will set the correct orientation crop selection. If a Centered Crop is OK or a crop from the top left corner is OK. The Action would not to be interactive and could be batched,

an 8x10 has a 4:5 aspect ratio. You would need to crop that to a 5:7 aspect ratio for a 5 by 7 print. and a 10x8 to a 7:5 aspect ratio for a 7 x 5 print.

You can drop any aspect ratio image to either a 5:7 or 7:5 aspect ratio my plug will set the correct orientation selection it will not change an image orientation. The image size is recorded with resample not checked just set DPI. Where the Long side Print Length step look like its 7px its actually the value 7 that is use with the document current print dpi resolution. Its just matter of my hacking JavaScript where I do not actually know JavaScript I needed a value for the documents current resolution. The code I stole returned a value and unit I only used the value. The same in Aspect Ratio selection I only needed a two value the document orientation determine where the values will be use width or height
