Image of Statue Looks Considerably Longer When I Rotate It
|
|
|
| I took a picture of a statue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New
York. I took the picture holding the camera in the vertical position.
When I rotate the picture with Adobe Photoshop, so that it is now
in horizontal position, I get a considerably ... longer looking
picture. The statue looks much longer standing up. Is this what it is
supposed to be?
Thanks!

What do the dimensions read in Image Size? May be an optical illusion.

| edjh,
I reduce the image with the statue lying down
to 1024x768. When I turn the staue up, I have 768x1024.
But, this way, the statue looks, AND IS, considerably taller!
It actually is taller. I measured it horizontally and vertically.
Thanks!

Either you do not use square pixels or your monitor is not adjusted
properly. Create a square image of say 650x650 pixels and check
whether its sides are equally long.

| Peter,
You are absolutely right. How do I adjust the monitor
so that both sides of the square are equal?
Thank you!

Right, you can correct for non-square pixels in CS. Since I don't have
it I'm not sure where.

Maria,
your monitor should have a menu which allows you to resize the
physical width, height and position of the visible area. Consult your
monitor's manual for details

And note that your monitor is, unless a widescreen, 4:3 so you need a
4:3 pixel ratio. For instance, mine is set at 1280x960.
