am able to resize my image to either 4H x 6W or 5H x 7W. how do i make either a 4W x 6H or a 5W X 7H. the original image i am working with is 28.44W x 21.33H (2048 x 1536) when i change the resolution to 330 it gives me an image of 6.2W x 4.6H. no matter how i play with this i am unable to get a 4Hx6W, or a 5Hx7W pic. maybe i am suffering from brain freeze tonight but for the life of me i can’t figure it out.

what i did was to resize the image at 250, which is 8.192W x 6.144H then when i select the marque tool, fixed size set to 4W x 6H, then crop. worked like i wanted it to.

George, that’s a fine approach. You could also do it using the marquee tool, with it set to Fixed Ratio 4 and 3, then Image<Crop. The resultant image would be in the right ratio, then you could go into Image<Resize<Image Size and change the long dimension to 6 inches and the short dimension would snap to 4 inches. That approach allows you to keep as much of the image as you want at the proper ratio.

But your approach works too!
