    Crop 4:3 images to 3:2 or 16:9?

    I have a bunch of 4:3 images, and I'd like to find a way to convert them to 3:2 for printing or 16:9 for my tv. I don't want to just squish them.

    I've tried manually cropping them, but it's hit or miss with the resulting aspect ratio.

    Is there an easy way to do this with IrfanView?

    Yes. It is easy to do with Custom Selection

    Just create a custom selection with the right proportions, and approximately the right size on one side. Then grab any edge of the selection marquee in the image and resize it holding down the control key to maintain the aspect ratio.

    Move the selection with the right mouse button to crop any desired area of the photo.

      Thanks, Bhikkhu Pesala. That's exactly what I was looking for.

      It's a little non-intuitive at first, but I'm getting the hang of it.
