How do you change the aspect ratio in a picture?

I took a picture off a video that I want to post on social media but I want it to look normal and not squished and skinny because it's from a video shot at 1080p. I want to use photoshop

You have to crop it.

Use Image > Image Size to find out the dimensions of the image in pixels and then use Image > Canvas size to crop out the portions of the image that you are prepared to lose to change the proportions of the picture. A Full HD image will have dimensions of 1920 x 1080 pixels so to get an image in 4 x 3 aspect ratio enter 1440 x 1080 as your Canvas Size.

Good Luck!

When I crop it, it still looks skinny, just zoomed in
For a 1280 x 1080 what do I enter?
