Transforming photo from 3:2 format to 16:9

Hi folks,

What's the easist way in Vegas Pro to have a 'cut' from a photo, format 3:2 to format 16:9?

So that it will have no black bars at the left and right. The 'rest of the photo' has to cover the 16:9 screen.

I don't want to use the FX 'Black bar fill! and I also don't want to stretch the photo!

Greetings,

Wiel
