I've recently started using blender again and i am having a problem when unwrapping simple objects, whenever i unwrap the object it stretches the sides for some reason even though i have added seams. pictures below
As you can see in the picture the cylinder has been scaled on the x axis so it is not uniform anymore, however when i unwrap the object the top piece is still a perfect cylinder and the sides have been stretched out to fit the UV grid. I have tried messing about with the constrain to image bounds check box but it doesn't seem to change anything.

What i did in the end to fix it was to go back to object mode, press "CTRL + a" and then select scale and rotation. I then went back into edit mode and using face select i clicked "A" to select the whole object and then i clicked "u" for unwrap and then changed it to conformal as you said, then it worked correctly.
