How to scale an image?

[Nicolle Evans]

you can't change the ratio (which is what you want to do by changing it from 259x383 to 200x200) without expecting the ratio to change...

you can have one of the sizes to be 200 but for it to "look the same" the other size would have to correspond correctly to the 200 and that isn't 200.

for example you could have 200x324 because it won't change the ratio

ORRR you could crop the image and get rid of the extra 124 in the example above - but you can't keep the whole image at 200x200 and not expect it to distort the image
