Default Cropping results in distorted images

A cropped picture is often distorted (aspect ratio changes) - probably when
the cropped dimensions are different to the original. Is there a way to
preserve the aspect ratio so that it is not necessary to stretch the picture
manually.

Thanks
Laurence Lombard

To be honest, I always believe that better results are obtained by
resizing, cropping or processing your image in a dedicated program,
before placing it onto your website.

I use PaintShop Pro V9. It does everything I need.

Thanks for your reply John. I hear what you say, but for my very basic
application Fronpage does everything I need, so why use/learn another
application? It is only this cropping anomaly which I am interested to know
whether there is a solution.
Thanks
Laurence

Cropping should change nothing. There should be no change at all in aspect
ratio. I'm not really sure why you are having to stretch the picture. Do you
have fixed dimensions set for the picture?
