Re-sizing and Pasting in Elements 12

I've just got Elements 12 and I'm having difficulty getting started.
The first thing I need to do, is to re-size a load of images - I need them to be a specific size in centimetres. I don't care how many pixels they are, or how big the file is.
However, whenever i try re-sizing, and then open the image in something else, it hasn't really changed size - it's just set to print at that size in elements. As I'm not printing them, I'm sending them digitally elsewhere to be printed, that's no good to me- is there any way to actually change the size.
Once I've got the images resized, I then want to paste them onto a slightly larger black background. However, I don't seem to be able to paste between files. Is this normal?
To sum up:
I have a load of jpegs and pngs of various sizes, I want to get them all to 6.12 x 8.6 cm, then paste them into a black background 6.4 x 9 cm (providing a thin border against the edges being cropped int he printing process) and save as jpegs. These jpegs will then be uploaded to a printing company via the internet.
I'd hoped this would be a fairly simple process, but it seems to be impossible. Can anyone help?

For printing, it desirable to have the resolution in the range 240-300px/in.
You can convert the ruler scale to metric by right clicking on the ruler. This will help you to visualize the dimensions for reference.
On the crop tool's option bar, enter 6.12cm and 8.6cm for w & h (depending on portrait/landscape orientation.) Enter resolution 240px/in in the resolution field.
Drag out the crop shield to embrace what you wish to retain, then commit with the green checkmark.
Set your foreground color chip to black
Go to Select menu>all
Open a blank layer above the background layer
Goto Edit menu>Stroke(outline) selection. Try stroke width 5px, position:inside. OK
Press CTRL+D to get rid of the marching ants.
You can adjust the black border (stroke width) to suit - simply delete the layer created in step #5, and replace it.

Get the move tool out of the toolbox, and position the object and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box

Applications that can copy and paste between Keynote?

I am looking for both graphic and web appliations that can copy and paste scalable elements between it and Keynote. I create a lot of graphics in Keynote and I am hoping to find editors that can handle those elements. I already own PowerPoint, and it does an OK job. I you have any suggestions, I would like to here it.

Shapes created in PowerPoint can be placed on to a Keynote slide using copy and Paste.
Illustrator is the number one vector application and Illustrator files can drag and drop on to the slide.
The HTML export from Keynote as you have discovered, is only designed to make simple HTML slide shows
see some free applications here:

Do not duplicate the graphic style when you copy and paste a feature

I rely heavily on the use of graphic styles. However, when I copy and paste a feature that has a graphic style assigned to it, a duplicate of the graphic style is created. I sometimes end up with a large number of these duplicate graphic styles that I have to trash. This does not happen with the selection tool+alt shortcut for copying. However, I can't use this shortcut when I want to paste in front or paste in back, which is the case at least half the time.

Only advice I can offer is Option Left cursor, then right cursor, to make an exact copy in same position.
This will give you a clone as the action does form the previosu poster, but unfortunately no oslution for when you want to target layers.
If anyone else has any input on this here is how to reproduc:
New document, create a graphic style (eg: fill yellow, stroke none) and save
Close the document
Open the document
copy and paste the element with the graphic style, and with every paste multiplies faster than a tribble on Star Trek
I played with changing the clipboard options, no luck. Exists on CS4 Mac, CS5 Mac & PC, might go back as far as graphic styles do.

How do I cut and paste? I want to change the background around a Christmas tree

How do I cut and paste in Elements 10. I want to change the background around a Christmas tree.

One way would be to open the background image, then go to File<Place and select your christmas tree image.
Now you have two layers.
Make a selection of the christmas tree with the Quick Selection Tool and then add a layer mask.
Now you can see the background around the tree.
Of course your selection may still need some tweaking, so you could paint on the layer mask to further refine the selection.

How do I copy and paste from Word into Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

using Windows 7 Professional SP1, Microsoft Office 365 (Office 2013).
I can copy the text within a word document, without a problem.
However, the paste options are greyed out and "Ctrl"+"V" does not work.
Am I missing something, as I can't work out how to copy the text from word, to use as a basis for my photo shop document.

Hey, guys. I am a complete noob to Elements 13. I need to get something done relatively quickly and I need to learn how to copy and paste from a Word document. How do I do this?
Copy the text in WORD to place it on the clipboard
Open PSE in Expert tab
Open your picture file
Get the type tool out of the tool box, click an insertion point
Go to Edit>paste
You should see two layers in the layers palette: background layer, and layer with the text.

How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13? When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position. Could not 'cut and paste'.

I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
video compression = MPEG1
audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
To be continued.

I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

If I'm copying text and/or vector elements from Indesign to Photoshop how come their pixel sizes change even though I opened the same sized document and my indesign file is a web file?

>my indesign file is a web file
Pardon?
Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

Copy and paste of an element does not seem to work in the web page design??

I have tried to copy and paste of an element BUT it does not seem to work in the web page design??

Hi;
The copy and paste keyboard commands in the app are controlled by Flash Player, sometimes there are issues with a browser/OS combination, make sure that Flash Player is up to date and if that doesn't help try another web browser.
Thanks,

Copy and Paste keywords in Elements 8

I have just started to embed keywords on the file info on images that I am submitting for sale. I cannot seem to copy and paste and have to type keywords repeatedly on each image. Am I doing something wrong ?

I would recommend using Organizer. You will find key wording in bulk much easier.
Simply launch the Organizer and use the menu:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
Navigate to My Pictures or your root folder if different.
Select all sub folders and click open or get media.
Accept all existing keywords and wait for thumbnails to be generated.
N.B. You are not importing anything physically. Organizer simply makes links to the files already on your hard drive.

Muse is pasting Illustrator elements as HTML and not SVG

Up until recently I could simply copy and paste things from illustrator to muse as an "Embedded SVG" and that was great. However for some reason, muse now only pastes these as HTML eliminating the ability to scale them. Is there a setting I can change to make them paste as SVG again?

Please see <Re: I can paste vectors in muse now, it shows up in preview, and even in a browser preview, but not when I upload.>.

Keynote and transfer of presentations why can't I copy and paste?

Hey Community!
     I've always been a Mac lover, but now....... I'm ready to do somethin'...... Very frustrated with update to new Mavericks and Keynote V.6. I have updated my presentations from the previous version of Keynote into the new version. I am trying to copy and paste elements from multiple seperates presentations into one presentation. When I paste the presentation into my "master", the font size changes, format changes. It's a pain in the (beep, boop, poop).
I get a message: OSX Spotlight search information was removed".
     I'm really confused. Why can't one just copy and paste from one show to another when its in the same program!?

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible.   The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?
Geoff.
