Because I'm in a good mood...
1. Get a calculator 2. Knowing that wide screen aspect ratio is 16:9 then (for this image) 16/9=x/960 for letterbox, or 16/9=1280/x to crop.
First, for you Photoshop savvy, I am aware that there are many ways to accomplish this, I am choosing what I find to be the easiest method.
3. To letterbox the image, first set the background color (see following image) to the desired letterbox color, usually black, but it doesn't have to be. 4. Under image, find canvas size (see following image), calculate the dimensions of the desired image, 16/9=x/960 so x=1706.666 round to 1707. Set the width field to 1707. Click OK.
Now you have a letterboxed image that is the proper wide screen aspect ratio.
5. If you dont like the letterbox look and want to crop the image you must calculate the height. 16/9=1280/x so x=720 6. Select canvas size and enter 720 in the height field.
