This isn't a limitation of Photoshop, it's just a sliightly different version of the old saying that you can't fit a square peg into a round hole.


The bottom line is that if distorting the image is unacceptable, then you've essentially got only four choices -- either you:


a) turn the image;


b) adjust its size so that it fits in one direction but there is blank space left over in the other direction;


c) you crop your starting image so that it fits in both directions; or,


d) you modify or re-do the original artwork so that it has the correct aspect ratio.  It turns out that there is a tool Adobe introduced into PS in the last couple of years that helps one modify an existing image.  It's called, "Content aware scaling".  However, it only makes relatively small changes in aspect ratio (ie, not changes from landscape to portrait orientation), and it only works on certain types of images.


Sorry,


Tom
