So I have a photo of a friend that was merged not sure if that's the right word for it. I am doing a canvas for him 16x20. I have tried to print the pic, that will not be a canvas wrap. This file is huge and I have asked several of my close friends that are photographers to talk me through resizing it. They even tried for me and it's still cutting off about 3 inches.
I'm at a lose any suggestions? The shoes are very important to stay in frame
Your image is more rectangular than your desired final product (16x20). The version of the image you're showing here is 960x660, so the width of your image is 50% longer than the height.
If you want to print to 16x20, then the width (20") can only be 25% longer than the height (16")
If you can't chop off any of the left or right portions of the image, then you'll have to choose a custom size, like 14x20, that fits the proportions of your image.
Or you'd have to fill in the top and/or bottom (with black or using something like Photoshop's content-aware fill)
To match the aspect ratio of the image, you need to print at either 16x24, 12x18, or any other 3:2 (1.5) aspect ratio. 16x20 is a 4:5 (1.25) aspect ratio.
