To make your photos the best they can be you first want to become familiar with Photoshop Elements and understand what tools you can use to enhance your photos.

Leveling Your Image by Cropping: No one, whether they are professional photographers or not, takes perfect photographs every time. To be honest, approximately 95% of the people who use either Photoshop or Adobe Elements do so to fix the images they have taken. Undoubtedly you will always find there are things you could have done to make your photos better; unfortunately these findings come after you have taken the photos. Whether it was zooming in for a closer shot, cropping out items that distract from your main subject, or rotating the photo, you probably would have taken a better photo if you had a second chance.

Typically most digital cameras have a ratio of 4:3 which means; (4 units wide by 3 units high) the standard print size is 6×4, which is a ratio of 3:2 (3 units wide by 2 units high). To alter your image using the aspect ratio dialog box.

If there are items in your photo which distract from your subject you may want to crop your image or photo to eliminate the distraction. Simply open the aspect ratio dialog box by clicking on image then crop. At the top of the dialog box you should see a width and a height box and you can work these in inches or centimeters. To select inches just type in "in" and for centimeters just type in "cm". Adobe Elements automatically re-samples your image or photo therefore I never enter anything in the resolution box.
