Interesting.
I just adjust the crop mask for what I want and hit enter.
No math required. Instant 5x7 (or 8x10, or any other aspect ratio).

As 5 x 7 is not that big for this project, it would probably be best to use as much of the image as is possible within those constraints.

Basically, you'll be cropping out all the stuff on the sides and making the center part your "portrait" image. You can compress the landscape image into a portrait shape, but that would make the subject look quite different.
Would probably make her look 10ft tall

It depends on your editor...
On one of mine, I can go to the crop function, set the aspect ratio to (5x7) and crop box orientation (landscape/portrait), lock it, move/adjust the crop box (expand/contract/move) and hit enter. Always "save as" to preserve the original in case you want to do something different later.
EDIT:
Your pixel dimensions are a 1.5 (.6666) aspect ratio, like for 8x12, 4x6, 2x3.
a 5x7 is 1.4 (.7142) aspect ratio. (5x1.4=7)

I think he also wants to change from landscape to portrait (horizontal to vertical) so it would require cropping off more than a little on each end.

Hello,
I have a photo that was not taken by me and it is in what I think to be really large format (5472 x 3648 pixels). I have never been good with sizing and ratios with photography and I have a very old copy of Photoshop 7 and would like to make it into a 5x7 portrait.
Can someone explain to me how to achieve this and keep the perspective the same?
May I ask why you want to make it in portrait? You can do a 5x7 in landscape?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Right off 5x7 is an old fashion ratio. Try a close 2:3. To go from landscape to portrait you will have to crop some thing and of course loose something. I often crop to make details vertical or horizontal. But since I am often shooting flowers or small objects I'll leave room for cropping and be able to directly change formats. A few times if I have a blank background or easily content filled I'll expand the canvas as they say in Photoshop. And create room to crop. But I'm using full photoshop for that and not PSE. Also I may figure your images do not have free space to loose.

At least, depending on the size and position of the crop.

The below is 5x7 landscape. Ignore the pixels and simply use the crop tool. But, can you talk about why you wish to print this in portrait orientation?
If the portrait idea is not debatable, see a few ideas in this thread:

Here is "one" 5x7 crop-
There you go, that probably only took less than 45 seconds.

That is even better for the intended use I might think!

I am not against cropping, but after cropping how can it be stretched to look normal. Again, I do not do well with aspect ratios so I need the ABC's of how to do it.
What do you mean by "stretched"?
The current size and the desired size have to be PROPORTIONAL if you want to avoid cropping. That's the only way it will continue to look "normal".
If you crop first, then stretch the image in only one direction (if that's even possible) to change its shape, it will not look normal.

57, I'm slow...

Even, about the only (practical) way you can make a 5x7 from a 'landscape' format would be to make a horizontal 5x7. To do otherwise, would mean losing material from both sides.

If you think you are slow at 57, good luck with the rest of your life.

Haha, that was the time to process the crop, in seconds,
my chronological age is 68.
