Hi,
To avoid distortion you have to either (1) maintain the original aspect ratio (2x4 and 20x16 images mean different ratio) or (2) discard some portions of the image.
1). In the "Image Size" dialog, make sure "Constrain proportions" option is checked.
2). To change aspect ratio without distortion activate the Crop tool > define target size and resolution in the Options bar > drag over the image to define retained area (the rest of the image will be discarded)
