Sizing

How can I make an image 1600x1060 ? I have a full size image to work with @ 4536x2832 I'm not worried about how it fits in relation to whats in the image. I want it to be 1600x1060 layout.
I have CS5 ans LR3 as editing software.
Thanks

Using PS in the image size dialog box leave proportions constrained and resize height to 1060. Then all you will have to to do is crop to 1600. Look at your info panel while cropping to see what the dimensions are.

It's locked to the width and when I set it to 1060 it brings the width down too.


EDIT. I see the Constrain Proportions is ticked. Thanks for the help.

If you don't keep the proportions constrained your image will be distorted hence the second step to crop the remaining width to 1600

Yep, I found out Thanks again

LR3: Custom crop, put in the numbers 1600 and 1060.
Export, with resize.

Or simply define a square crop in LR (e.g. 2832 x 2832) , then specify at time of Export of a JPG file, with output parameter of 1600 x1600 pixels

I'll take a look at that

I'd say that would be the "less muss, less fuss" way -- LR will give you a crop rectangle with the proper proportions than you can then resize for your composition and then when you Export it you leave Constrain Proportions checked and just set one of the dimensions and the other should fill in properly. This way you stay in the Raw workflow if you don't need to go into Photoshop.

OK, Thanks. Good info guys

LR doesn't have a Constrain Proportions box. You can't not constrain.

Ah, OK, I was thinking of the PS Image Size resizer!
