I need help

I want to put my charming photo up in my farm but I'm not really sure how to make it fit without making it stretch or anything. Any ideas?

@Traitor: ahh. Thought you meant crop a 800x600 image to 100x100. Cause that honestly would make things worse lol.. Its like a picture of him with his friends but he crops to only show his face </3

@GlobalKorean: I meant crop the portion to 100x100. If you have the image as 800x600 and you resize it to 100x100 it will be distorted unless you crop it to 600x600 then scaling it down to 100x100

Actually scaling is when you keep all aspects of the photo intact and just make it smaller in size or resolution, whilst cropping is used when you want a part of the image removed. Im guessing OP was asking how to scale the image to the right resolution rather than crop it down.

OT: try using adobe photoshop or illustrator as they both have features that allow you to resize the image to a specific resolution. (if you dont have either of those software then use GIMP)

@SnailShells If you're using Microsoft Paint, it can be hard to scale a picture without skewing the proportions because Paint doesn't have an "aspect ratio lock" like most painting programs do.
If you take an original that's (for example) twice as high as it is wide and change the size to 100px x 100px, that makes the height the same as the width and will squish the picture down and make it look short and fat.

You could use a different graphics paint program that DOES let you lock the aspect ratio so the picture's proportions stay the same when you resize it, or you could resort to doing some math to do it in Paint.
First load the original into Paint and open the Attributes under the Image menu and write down the width and height.
Then assuming the picture is higher than it is wide, divide the height by the width. That gives you the ratio of height vs. width.
Then divide the number you just got into 100 and that will give you the width for your final picture.
Make the height 100 pixels and the width whatever you got above.
That should make the final picture the same as the original, only smaller.
