I have a bunch of digital pictures I am putting in a video script. My video is 16:9 so all my pictures have black at the sides. Does anyone know what size to make these pictures in Photoshop CS3 extended? Do I change the pixel size and if so to what?

Thanks
Lynn

I enlarge the image to make it fit the long side. Then I crop the image to make it fit the short side.

Actualy, going from 3:2 to 16:9 will require you to expand the short side to fill the screen. Then you must crop the long side to fill the screen. Jim

if you want to keep proportions you’ll have to crop your pictures. no other option that i am aware of

I don’t want to crop them, I want to resize the images. I don’t know what size to make them so they will be full screen on 16:9 television. Right now they are the size for 4:3 so have a black border on each side of the picture. In other programs I can resize them by pixils at 1280 X 720 pixils but in Photoshop the pixil size seems to be in the thousands. So would I resize at say 24000 X 24000??

If you pictures are 4:3 and the video is 16:9 you will either have to stretch them (ie distort) or crop them to get rid of the black.

The first you do in the Image Size dialog, the second with rha crop tool.

You can enter any pixel values you like.
