Topic: Photoshop CS3: Is there a way to reshape a photo?

I was wondering if there was a way to reshape a photo from a "squarish" shape to a long rectangle shape.  It seems like there should be a way to add the little drag boxes to the edges of the photo and then drag corners to reshape the photo.  Am I making sense? 

I have some photos that are square and I need them to be long (for a website header).

I just found the warp tool.  But it's not a good solution because the image becomes too distorted.  I guess it's just not possible.  Hmmmm

Hi Susie, I would just go to image and resize it. But like you noticed already, that will distort it.

Yep.  I was just hoping that Photoshop had a magic trick to make it work.  lol

the only thing would be to resize image to width (constraining) and further to crop in height.
