Use photoshop elements 8 to crop photo

why cant I use all the features on my photoshop

Well, I don't understand those directions at all, unless you're trying to something quite different than just cropping. If you just want to crop an image, you go to Image>Resize>Image Size, and first make sure the setting in pixels per inch is what you want (usually 300 ppi is considered optimum for printing, around 72 for onscreen display). If it's not what you want, turn OFF resample image in the bottom part of the window and change the number to what you want, click OK, then go to the crop tool and drag out a one inch square or enter the dimensions in the options bar before drag, move the crop frame where you want it, and click OK.
To move something from one image to another, which sounds like what your directions are for, not cropping, you must first select it with the selection tool of your choice to tell PSE what you want to copy, then use the regular copy/paste commands for your operating system (ctrl+c/cmd+c, ctrl+v/cmd+v, etc.). To select an entire image, press ctrl+a/cmd+a.
If you just want to copy part of an image rather than cropping it, use the marquee tool to select your one inch square, then copy/paste into the other document.

    If your program is Photoshop Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    If this is the case, please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

  • How can I use photoshop elements with photos

    Title says it all.  I would like to use Photoshop Elements to edit my photos--how do I open them in PSE? 

    Yes your edits will be there if you import the edited version. Yes it will go to the Cloud with the edits. What you read is that edits made in iPhoto and Aperture after the library has been migrated will not be available in Photos. But you could still export from iPhoto/Aperture to the Finder and then import to Photos, like with PSE.

    Want to edit image using photoshop elements
    Did the following

    Also control click and chose edit in external editor
    Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
    Go to to the image I'm working on  --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
    I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
    I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
    I spoke with application technical support.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto.  However there is no support from Adobe.  I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

    You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

  • I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

    I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes.  the cursor won't enter.  same thing with resolution.  what did i do?  what's wrong?

    The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
    If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
    the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
    Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
    and click yes in the dialog.

    Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

    Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.
    Thanks

  • How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    Hi Peru Bob,
    I've tried two images, the results were:
    Image 1
    Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
    After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
    Image 2
    Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
    After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
    So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

  • Using photoshop elements with aperture

    I recently purchased and installed Aperture 1.5. I have yet to import my photos. I plan on keeping my photos on an external drive. The drive is shared with a windows laptop. I have about 5k of photos. Most of the time, the edits I make will only be colour correction and cropping, so Aperture will be the software of choice. For some photos I need to manipulate backgrounds, or cut out shapes, etc and drop them into other photos. I don't believe Aperture will do this.
    So I'm wondering how to handle the photos I need to use Photoshop Elements 4.0 (Windows). Can I make the background changes, cut outs, etc. in Photoshop, save the changed image on the external harddrive and then import the reference to this image into Aperture?
    mac mini    

    It seem to me that you have two separate issues to deal with.
    First, using PSE4 as editor. The whole power of Aperture is in its digital asset manager. In other words, if you edit files in PSE4, then it will need to be imported into Aperture (referenced or otherwise). While it can be stacked, it will be a separate file, whereas if a version is created within Ap, then it is not a separate master file. Nothing wrong with it as long as you know that, and are willing to live with multiple masters of the same image.
    Second, sharing an external drive-based image with XP laptop. Clearly you will need to make your Ap library a referenced master library. This also means that you will have to back up the file separately from using Vault (Vault will backup your referenced previews and versions but not your master files). Do you have this connected and working now? If not, pay attention to the external disk format for compatibility issue. I have MBP and Dell desktop that shares an external drive.
    All that said, did you consider creating a logical directory/folder structure on your external HDD and use the Organizer that comes with PSE/XP? It is a quite nice program and will allow for PSE editing in an integrated manner. Not sure what you are gaining by using Ap, other than stacking feature.
