Images can be resized for different aspect ratios but it takes a bit of work and time.
This also depends allot on the image itself. Sometimes a bit of cropping is required which will result in the image being slightly "cut off" along the edges but this is unfortunately unavoidable with some pics. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit (Build 7600) CPU AMD Phenom Quad core 9950 black edition Motherboard Gigabyte Memory 8Gb Graphics Card 2x XFX Radeon 5850 Sound Card PCI Express X-Fi Titanium / Logitech G35 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP 2410i Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU Jean Tech Storm 700W Case Cooler Master COSMOS S Cooling Akasa Evo Blue Pro Hard Drives 1x 500Gb Seagate

I opened your image in photoshop, selected pixels, created work path, applied a layer and vector mask, then resized it with the ration fixed. This left an image with 1680x1264. I removed the layer and vector mask, deleted the work path, the using the rectangle select to mark the upper half of the image above the sunset. Then using the select tool with the box at top checked for 'show transformation controls' selected, grabbed the box at top and drug it down approx. 180px. Then selected the image only and cropped off the clear space left at the top of the canvas. I got lucky and it came out at 1680x1046, so a simple resize later this is your 1680x1050.

Best I can do with your predefined dimensions. I also enhanced the color a bit. May I ask why u need it in those exact dimensions? There's no way to change the dimensions without either cropping it, layering it (as I did a bit of both), or "squashing" it, to quote u. lol As for doubling the size without losing resolution, not much chance of that either. If it's pixilation you're trying to avoid, then I suggest using a softening tool. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DELL Inspiron 1564 OS Windows 7 64 bit CPU Intel Core Processor i3-330M Motherboard 4 GB Memory 320 GB Harddrive Graphics Card Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Keyboard Standard PS/2 Mouse DELL Touchpad Resizing wallpaper/need help problems?
