As all digital photographers know digital cameras can take some amazing photos, but sometimes your photos just fall short of being perfect. Elements has all the tools necessary to make your photo perfect.
The best place to begin is to understand what you are seeing on your screen when you open up Elements and to become familiar with the tools you will be using.
Leveling Your Image By Cropping; Even professional photographers don't get all their photos correct the first time. In fact I would say that over 95% of the use of Photoshop or Elements is to correct their images, so you're not alone with this. Once you have your photos in a folder you'll notice that some of your photos might have looked better if you'd have shot it differently. Either it might have been better zooming in more, or you need to crop your photo, or even rotating your photo.
Typically most digital cameras have a ratio of 4:3 which means; (4 units wide by 3 units high) the standard print size is 6x4, 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 you need to crop your image or photo to a specific size you can. Just open up the aspect ratio dialogue and to do this you need to click on image then crop. If you look at the top you'll see a width and a height box and you can work these in inches or centimeters. For inches just type in "in" and for centimeters just type in "cm".
Elements automatically re-samples your image or photo therefore I never enter anything in the resolution box.
