ez way to resize images and keep quality

[gar598]

I have huge, high quality tiff files and am wanting to resize them to 770 x 170 --- when, I do it now in photoshop, the image have a stretched quality to them - is there any way to avoid this?

It sounds like it's stretchted because you're changing the aspect ratio.

Sure sounds like it but you would think a photoshop owner whould know something that simple. Must be something else. Look at your "contrain proportions" checkbox

go to image > image size, then either change the width to 770 OR the height to 170, then crop it to fit the desired size.

Resize by only setting one length. Then keep the "Aspect Ratio" box checked (if there is one) and it should fill in the appropriate measurement for the other side. Probably won't be the exact size you need but it won't stretch anything.

You're going to have to crop some of the picture if you want the final result to be exactly 770 x 170. It's like making a square fit into a rectangle. You can't with out changing the square into a rectangle, whether you do it by stretching or cropping.
