: How to crop to fit to required dimensions without altering image aspect ratio I have to resize a bunch of images to 1080x864. When downsizing an image the proper resolution is 1080x720 when

@Cugini998

So...I hope I understood you correctly...you need to crop images to 1080x864 but they don't have the same aspect ratio? One way of doing this without having white spaces or distorting the image is to create a new document of 1080x864 and place the images in that document and then transform > scale them to fill the canvas.

This would work no matter what aspect ratio your images have :




Regarding your comment:


After you've created the new document with the size of 1080x864, you can drag and drop the image, it will look like in img. A below, after you drag the handles (remember to press&hold shift to keep aspect ratio) it will look like img.B...now just press Ctrl+Enter and save it ;).

You basically have 2 options if your required dimension is 1080x864.

1) Upscale the image or Downsize the height to 864 (not sure if your image is bigger or smaller than required dimensions). This will result in a wider image that you will either have to crop from the left or right or both sides.

2) Keep width at 1080 and have blank space at the top and bottom of the image (you can then choose what you want as a border color.

For the above methods, you can create this as an action and then use a batch process to do this for multiple images.

Maybe a 3rd option. I am not sure what your end use is but you could keep the width as-is (1080) and export with a transparent background as a PNG.
