Open up an image editing program and rotate the image so that the frame is squared and level. With the selection tool, select the contents of the frame and copy it to get the dimensions of the frame. Paste it and rescale to fit either the height or width of the document. Use this to resize the entire document so that it is the same dimensions as the frame. Delete the layer with the frame contents. Select the entire image, copy it, paste it, and resize it to fit perfectly inside of the frame.
