Photoshop: Change pixel aspect ratio

In Photoshop, you can change the pixel aspect ratio of an image in just a few steps. In addition to your own pixel aspect ratio, you can also select known pixel aspect ratios, such as the NTSC format, in Photoshop.

Set your own pixel ratio or specific format in Photoshop

1. Open the image in Photoshop and switch to "Image" in the menu bar.
2. In the opened menu, go to the different options via "Pixel aspect ratio".
3. You can specify your own factor here via "Own pixel aspect ratio". So you stretch the picture exactly as you want it.
4. You can also set up known formats using "Pixel Aspect Ratio". For example, there is the NTSC format (factor 1.2) or the Pal format (1.066). Just click on the format you want. You can see the change immediately in Photoshop.

Photoshop can also be used to create panoramic photos from several images. We'll also explain how to create motion blur in Photoshop.
