Every photographer knows that digital cameras can take some incredible pictures; unfortunately this doesn't always happen with EVERY photo. Fortunately Photoshop Elements has all the tools necessary to make the ordinary photos extraordinary.
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.
What you'll also find is that 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). You can alter your image or photo in the aspect ratio dialogue.
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".
Because Photoshop Elements automatically re-samples your image when you open it I usually never enter anything in the resolution box.
