Squeezing a generated image

I find various ways to get around the "square image" limitation of Gemini. Dall-E3 also makes square images initially, but then one at a time you can select "Resize" and "4:3", which actually produces an image 1792x1024, or 7:4. I used Dall-E3 as a test bed, using a prompt that requests a vertically-exaggerated image. It could then be vertically squeezed from square to a 16:9 aspect ratio and still look realistic, or at least pleasing. One of these three images was produced by the Resize function, and then cropped to 16:9, and the other two began as square images that were squeezed by anisotropic resizing in IrfanView to 16:9. Let me know in a comment if you can see which of the three is the unique one, unsqueezed.
