Question

Resize photo from 8x10 to 5x7

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,

          Then you would not need to record the seting of the Print resolution in the action steps

          Step 1 Automate  Aspect Ratio Selection record desired Aspect Ratio numbers and desired location using the  Plug-in's Dialog.

          Stes 2 Image Crop

          Step 3 Image Size set Print Resolution do not set size just set DPI.

          Step 4 Automate Long Print Side Length  Record the desired length in the Plug-in dialog.

          Step 5 save the file in some output folder

          The Plug-ins are in my crafting Action Package.
