How To Retouch And Correct Your Images By Using Photoshop Elements

By David Peters


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.

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; 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 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".

Elements automatically re-samples your image or photo therefore I never enter anything in the resolution box.
