Sizing an image

Hello

There seems to be a lot of problems here if you wish to log on with IE. It's difficult to type. I suggest the moderators sort it out ASAP. The world is far bigger than Apple Mac.

I have a number of photos, such as this one:

Rabbit copy.jpg

that I need to fit in a 6" x 4" landscape frame.

I had thought of creating a new white 6 x 4 background file and reducing this image to fit it. Is that the best way to do it? The final image would look really small.

Thanks for any ideas (I am no good at cropping!)
 
Hi Steve

Can you explain by what you mean by "There seems to be a lot of problems here if you wish to log on with IE. It's difficult to type"
I have tested logging in with IE 11 and have no problem, which version of IE are you using?
If you have issues logging in you can report them here
https://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/forum-assistance-and-information/

The image that you posted is 4" * 4" so you shouldn't have any issue putting it in a 6" * 4" frame, here it is in a 6" * 4" canvas no resizing done, unless I'm missing something, is that the original size of the image or is it actually larger?

Hi Steve

I just created a new 6" * 4" image and copied your image onto the canvas

There's another way you can do it just open the original image and go to Edit, Canvas Size, increase the width by 2 inchs and set the Canvas extension color to white

FWIW, I usually use FF, but upon reading your report, I just logged in here with IE 11 (update 11.0.27 on a freshly updated Win 8 box). I have fiber optic service to my house.

I am indeed experiencing some very minor delays while typing. I am a *very* fast typist and notice problems like that immediately.

In contrast, if I type into a Google search box using IE, or when I am typing in the forum using Firefox, I experience no typing delays whatsoever.

I suspected that some other process was hogging clock cycles, so I opened task manager and discovered that both the search indexer was active and McAfee simultaneously decided to do a virus scan, probably because it's the very early morning here in the States. You might be having a similar problem. Please check and let us know.

Thanks for reporting this.

Cheers,

Tom M

PS - If I get a chance to do this before I leave, I will move this bug report to it's own thread to separate it from the resizing discussion.
