Alter / resize images

I need a total of 5 images resized to 1024x425 without distorting them. Attached are 3 of the images. I will send the other 2 over once the first 3 are done. I know that some of the images are pretty small, and resizing will lose some clarity, which I don't mind, I just don't want them to be distorted, so if you need to creatively add to the background to back the picture wider / taller to make it work, that's fine, as long as it works with the image. I need someone start on this today and have the work ready in a few hours.
