How can I set an image size fully depending upon ImageSize?

Question

I have an image assigned to myPicture

myPicture =

enter image description here

 Image[myPicture, ImageSize -> {500, 300}]

I get result like this, after evaluation:

enter image description here

My problem is that the image is not fitted to the rectangle. How can I solve that one?

I think you are over constraining your requirements since the aspect ratio of images is different than the aspect ratio of the space you to put it into. — m_goldberg, Nov 8, 2012 at 8:33

ImageResize[myPicture, {500, 300}]

or

Show[myPicture, ImageSize -> {500, 300}, AspectRatio -> 3/5]

or, more generally,

Show[myPicture, ImageSize -> {500, 300}, AspectRatio -> Full]
