In the last couple of days I have noticed that all my pictures are stretched horizontally %26lt;----%26gt;. I have noticed this using Adobe Photoshop, when I just open them with the Windows Picture Viewer in the My Pictures folder, as well as any other picture program I choose to use. I am wondering why this is and how to fix it.
If it's important, I changed my screen resolution and then changed it back, but I don't think this would have anything to do with the problem. I need this fixed as I do a lot of photographic work, and nothing is coming out right. I use XP Home Ed. and have not had a problem up until now, and have had this computer for about a year.All the pictures on my computer are stretched, why?
most likely your screen size is incorrect check the various shapes/sizes in display/properties/settings for the correct shape for your screen
if thats ok then adjust you monitors horizontal/vertical size so that they are equal and all should square up.
i use photoshop to create a square blank image to check
say 400 x 400p if it looks wrong your monitor is probably to blame
