My monitor makes photoshop look funny(HELP PLZ)

[Myss Hydra]

I need help because my new monitor makes everything on Photoshop looked stretched out but I have no idea where to adjust it. The Monitor is a Widescreen 1440x900 resolution monitor.


I started noticing that every pic I printed out from photoshop turned out looking stretched. I went to see if that affected any other program, like the regular Paint tool that's already built in the computer.

I drew something, printed it out, and it turned out in normal proportion with the original on the computer. I saved it, opened the image in Adobe Phtotoshop Elements, printed the image, and it turned out stretched again.

So I'm guessing that every image I draw using photoshop will probably tunr out looking more stretched than it originally looks. Well, I need help in knowing how to change this problem, whether I have to re-install the whole program again(I hope not)...

Hmm, I'm not exactly sure it's actually the monitor's fault, per se.
If you haven't already, check your print settings though Adobe.

[bear in mind I have Photoshop 7.0, so I'm not entirely sure everything's the same]

-Ok go to File and click on 'Print with Preview' If it's not there, click on anything that
resembles print settings or print/ page setup.

-After you've opened that up, find the scale print size. This information
tells you how big the picture will show up as you print it out.

What your problem might be is that your photoshop is selecting 'fit to media' making
everything you print out all blown up and strectched out. Unclicking this button
should revert everything back to normal and solve the problem.

If it's not that, I'm not sure what else it could be, sorry.
But I would gladly check up on it later if it still doesn't work.
