Changing the size of an image.
 

Im looking to change some images from 4:3 to 16:9.

Whats the best way to crop/resize and is there software out there which will make it easier than doing it all manually?

Thanks.

Adobe Photoshop works a treat.

Don't bother wasting your dosh on PhotoShop..Trust me the guy that suggested it never bought it either lol :D



Free Open Source Software

N-Joi :)

Edit:

Oh and i know you love asking questions Alan ...I will read your mind. here is the answer :)

With GIMP open, go to File > Open and select an image. ...
Go to Image > Scale Image.
A Scale Image dialog box will appear.
To see the Image Size in inches or a value other than pixels, use the drop down beside the values.
Enter new Image Size or Resolution values. ...
Select Interpolation method.

Have fun ;)

Adobe Image CC suite is only £8 a month. 7 Full on, professional apps for that price it very reasonable.

Photoshop, Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Portfolio, Spark, Behance and Bridge. Plus access to Adobe Stock. It's a bloody bargain price. Always the latest versions, too.

Gimp is painful to use, imo. user friendliness was not top of their feature list.

What's wrong with just using MS paint? Ships with the OS and can crop, stretch, resize, skew etc.

depends what you want to do, I guess. there's nothing 'wrong' with paint, but it's feature list is extremely limited.

The OP just wants to resize the image, nothing more. Why get so complicated?
