3. Press Ctrl+W to open the ‘Resize and Skew’ window. Tick the ‘Percentage’ tab. Uncheck the ‘Maintain Aspect Ratio’ tab so that you can enter the horizontal and vertical size individually. Enter the Horizontal size as “1” and let the vertical size be set at “100” as shown below.


Your canvas should like this now.

4. Press Ctrl+W again. Now enter the Horizontal size as “500” and let the vertical size be set to “100”. Remember to tick the ‘Percentage’ tab and uncheck the ‘Maintain Aspect Ratio’ tab. Repeat this stretching thrice or until you get the desired outcome. On the last resizing, enter the height as as 150 so as to stretch the canvas vertically.

Below is the image after resizing for the second time.

Check out the below image after the fourth resize.
