When I try to resize my photos to 1600x1200 they always come out as 1600x1067; which works fine for uploading to Caedes too. My question is if I want to add a border to the photo to make up the difference I cant seem to get it to work in Irfanview. I figured I substract 1067 from 1200 which leaves 133. I split that amount in half & added that much to the top & bottom but then it screws up the other size. Any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong??

use the IMAGE menu CANVAS SIZE feature of Irfanview.. this will pad out the necessary dimension with black (or color of your choice) .. just split your 133 in half

add 66 to top and 67 to bottom (for example)

Thats exactly what I did Keifer, but then it changed the other dimenion also.(the 1600 size) I left those settings at zero, so I dont know why it would add to it do you?? I only tried it once..maybe I just need to go back & retry. If you have any other suggestions let me know. Thanks!

here's a thought...just paint a border around the edge of your lens :P

*pokes head in* didja remember to turn off the "keep proportions"?

*goes back to work* 8•P

Like A1 said, you have your 'contrain proportions' box checked...or however infranview works.

Thanks for your help everyone! I'm not sure if that was it or not, but it worked fine when I did it today! Appreciate all the suggestions. (yah..even the painting the lens one..lmao)
