I am taking raw images importing at 72 dpi with image sizes often at 5184 x 3165.
The new website hosting company I am working with is requesting the images be at 1400 x 600 px. I am having difficulty resizing the photos without distortion. Is this an odd size?

I'm using Photoshop CC but could also use Lightroom.

It's not an odd size to ask for, it's just not the same ratio as the photos you have.

Basically, if you need to get exactly 1400x600 px photos, you're going to have to crop them to be that size.

I would do this in Photoshop.

1. Go to Image>Image Size



2. Leave the height and width linked to avoid distortion and set the larger dimension first

(1400 px in this case)





3. Click okay, then select the Crop tool `C`

Photoshop has this nifty feature where it will tell you the new px size for your crop area, use that to get to 600 px.





Note: if you unlink the height and width and set the values for both dimensions, your images will always be distorted unless you happen to have taken photos that are the same ratio (Unlikely in this case because I can't think of any cameras that shoot in 7:3).

What happens when you unlink height and width
