I need to resize a business card to 310x90 pixels - Help!
I made a business card in Publisher & want to use it as my logo, but need to
resize it to 310 X 90 pixels. I don't know what pixel size it is now, so complete instructions will be appreciated. Thank you! |

Thank you! ============================== Save a copy of the business card in the .png format and import it into an image editor. I'm guessing your business card is 3.5" x 2"? That would be 310 x 177 pixels so you will have to compress (distort) the graphics or Crop (cut off the top and bottom) of the card in order to have a result of 310 x 90. The following freeware can do the task you require... FastStone Image Viewer http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm Resize With FastStone Select the file with a left click and type... Ctrl+R...this opens the Resize/Resample Panel. First...uncheck the Preserve Aspect Ratio box at the bottom of the panel. Now..In the Pixel section...enter the size you require and click...OK. Double left click the file for a view of what it looks like...press Escape to return to the main screen. If that distorted image is unsatisfactory... you will have to crop so just go to... Edit / Undo to return to the original aspect ratio and read the following instructions. Crop With FastStone... To achieve a particular size without distorting the image, you must "Crop" a portion the size you need. Imagine cutting out a particular size with scissors... Select your image in FastStone and go to...Edit / Crop Board... On the Crop Board screen, you will see a button below the image with three dots on it...if you click it you will see a menu of sizes to choose from. If the size you need is not present, you can add it. Then click OK. Now you can left click/drag the corners of the selection box to frame the portion of the image you wish to keep. And you can reposition the box by dragging the 4 way arrow. When you are happy with the selection ... click the Crop button. Now...File / save As...choose a save location / enter a name / click...save.

Options, use pixels as your measurement. Draw a rectangle around the business,
right-click, format auto shape, size tab. Don't forget to delete the rectangle before you print. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "DebiDR" wrote in message ...
