Ok,yes,you can change the aspect ratio but you will end up with short fat trees or a stretch limo. Instead, you need to change "canvas size" to conform to a standard print size.
I crop my photos as 8x10" (4x5" ) to conform to USA paper and standard mats. However, wanted to send 4x6" drugstore prints to my sisters. OOPS, the drugstore would auto crop to fill the 6" side and cropped the 4x1.2= 4.8" to 4" losing 0.8" inches of my photo!! NO thank you. With 200 to customize, individual change was too time consuming... batch processing was the solution.
To solve the problem (excellent and free) Faststone.org "resize" allowed my to in one click change the batch canvas size to 4x6". The 1/2" could be at each end or could be as 1" at one end. I could leave as white/color or add a logo or comment or what ever. Of course the program will do individual photos as well as batch.
In a similar way you can fit your your photos into a standard only format and the computerized process will not crop. I advise not to battle with a one program dose all like PS or LR, use a dedicated program that knows it's specialty stuff like Faststone Resize.
