basic function cutoffs the image resized on both sides

sharp(file3)
	.resize(400, 280)
	.toFile(file3x, function(err) {
	// output.jpg is a 200 pixels wide and 200 pixels high image
	// containing a scaled and cropped version of input.jpg
	});

is there another extra setting I need to add?

@ryanvanderpol Processing starts on the input image when one of toFile(), toBuffer() or pipe() are called to access the output image. This means a second call to resize() on the same pipeline before processing begins will update the internal state, replacing the parameters from the first call.
