In photography, a 4-by-6 photo is 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide, and a 6-by-4 photo is 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Because the different sizes come from a camera held horizontally or vertically, respectively, converting from one orientation to the other without distortion requires creative manipulation. You either need to make the image larger and crop it or resize and add a border around it. You can do both in most image manipulation programs.
Instructions
Resize and Crop
- 1
Open the 4-by-6 image in an image manipulation program, such as Photoshop.
2Select the "Resize" menu usually found under the "Image" menu. Enter "9 inches" for the horizontal measurement and "6 inches" for the vertical measurement. This resizes the photo to 9 inches wide and 6 inches tall. Click "OK."
3Select the "Crop" tool. With the crop tool, you select part of the photo, and the tool discards the rest. Click on the top of the photo and drag the crop box down to the bottom of the photo. Drag it sideways until the box is 4 inches wide. Click on the photo and drag it around inside the crop box until the picture pleases you. Click "OK" to crop the photo. When cropped, the photo becomes 6-by-4.
