Resize not working as expected

$image->resize(450, 219)

This generates an image in the correct place, but the wrong dimentions

File created: content_0-393x219

as You can see 393x219 created

Same code also created an image 329x219

… Confused!

You probably want to crop the image rather than resize it, resizing keeps the ratio of the image.

ah! ok thanks, great.
