Hello all. I know nothing at all about graphic manipulation, or image editing so be nice! :)

I've got this image:

blogimg_2941_73142-2008092919085140.jpg


Unfortunately it's 500 X 182 and I want to make it 400 X 75 so I can use it as a sig on these forums. I've tried using Preview, iPhoto and Gimp. Not to mention some other program I downloaded that I can't quite remember the name of.

Every time I try and resize this image in any of the above programs I'll set the width as 400, but then It'll keep changing the height to something like 125 which is no good for these forums.

Is there any way I can just force it to use the dimensions I want?

Cheers in advance.
 
Thank you very much for the replies. Thanks Tony, you can take that off your hosting now and I'll upload it myself.

Feek, thanks for having a go at that, I can see it's clearly been distorting by the resizing there. I guess that a professional package such as Photoshop is needed to resize without the distortion?
