C#: Resize An Image While Maintaining Aspect Ratio and Maximum Height
// This allows us to resize the image. It prevents skewed images and
// also vertically long images caused by trying to maintain the aspect
// ratio on images who's height is larger than their width
// also vertically long images caused by trying to maintain the aspect
