Last year in DV 2010, I took my picture with a digital camera, uploaded it into my computer, and resized it to 600 x 600 pixels as required using some photo shop manager. But during the process I found that 600 x 600 was not a normal dimension. The picture came out distorted as it is not the normal dimension. According to photoshop the dimension that naturally go with 600 is 400 and thus 600 x 400 which makes the picture looks rectangular and thus normal rather than square (abnormal) and distorted in 600 x 600. I found that each certain length of a picture had its own width that go together perfectly resulting in nondistorted picture.
Anybody has any idea why they require such an abnormal square dimension 600 x 600 rather than the normal 600 x 400? Actually, I had some difficulty transforming from 600 x 600 to 600 x 400.
Or maybe I have less technical knowledge than others in this matter? If so, kindly please help/guide. It will most appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance.
