Basically took some potrait pics and tried to rotate them upright in PS.
Apparently the faces got squashed alittle making it look kinda weird and fatter than it shld be.
I figure it has gotta be something to do with screen resolution/ratio and stuff. How do I do this right?

ahh wtf?!?
did you choose Image: Rotate 90°? if so it will be fine.
where are they being viewed?
if it's on a tv then you may need to tweak but otherwise it's all fairly simple.

walk us through exactly the steps you took one by one

OK here goes:
I wanted the pics to be in portrait format so i took them with the cam in veritcal position.
So naturally i need to rotate them 90 degrees during editing. The thing is the faces will get "squashed" after the transformation.
That was pretty much all i did. I'm view the pics on a CRT; resolution set at 1280X1024.

how did you rotate them?
just select canvas > rotate 90 degrees clockwise
- weirdel0
yes jevad dats all i did

maybe it's just optic illusion or some sort of mumbojumbo, photoshop have never screwed up a photo by rotating it 90 degrees cw since i started using it at ver. 2.5, so i really dout you can blame it on that

yeah dats exactly y it baffles me. went through the same process lotsa times b4 with scenary and objects and i din notice it at all previously. perhaps it was more obvious when a person's face gets squashed. it's not an extreme distortion but u can see it somethings wrong.
not blaming it on PS. i'm thinking screen resolution and the photo ratio. juz tot mayb someone out there experienced this b4...

huh?! Its impossible.
Unless your pixels aren't square to start with...have you got 'non-square' pixels (used for TV stuff) in the original image or in Photoshop settings?

maybe you should check on another screen...maybe your screen settings are weird...

Its an Illusion of the mind.
Start from scratch, rotate it 90 again, then rotate back -90
Does it still look distorted? if not its an illusion.

print a copy of both out. then trace a copy of each. fax me the outlines. i'll scan them in. use adobe streamline to convert them to vectors, then simply check the info box in illustrator. easy.

How bigs the image Wierd? Have a look at it at 100%, not zoomed in or out. Looking at images at a random %age sometimes makes looks look a tad skewed...

its your brain, not the computer, been giving it some thought, and its 100% correct on the screen.. its impossible it squeezes it
if you did it the other way around and turning the photo ccw so it goes from upright to laying down it would look slimmer in your eyes
and who cares anyway, ust change it till you and they are happy

Any of the above help Wierdo? Intregued as to the cause.

dude..just get your eyes fixed

Check:
Image / Pixel Aspect Ratio?
Reset it? Set it to 'square'
also, look at the title bar of your image, does it say [scaled]? if so, you might have a weird ratio set
