USING PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 8
Cropping, resizing, retouching, and transforming photos

Drag over the part of the image you want to keep. When you release the mouse button, the  crop marquee appears 
as a bounding box with handles at the corners and sides. 

(Optional) Adjust the crop marquee by doing any of the following:

•

To change the preset size or aspect ratio, choose new values from the Aspect Ratio menu in the options bar.

•

To move the marquee to another position, place the pointer inside the bounding box and click-drag, or hold down 
Alt and use the arrow keys to move the marquee. 

•

To resize the marquee, drag a handle. (If you choose No Restriction from the Aspect Ratio menu, you can constrain 
the proportions while scaling by holding down Shift as you drag a corner handle.)

•

 To swap Width and Height values, click the Swap icon

 

 in the options bar. 

•

 To rotate the marquee, position the pointer outside the bounding box (the pointer turns into a curved arrow

 

), 

and drag. (You can’t rotate the crop marquee for an image in Bitmap mode.)

Click the green Commit button

 

 located in the lower-right corner of the marquee, or press Enter to finish the 

cropping. If you want to cancel the cropping operation, click the red Cancel button

 

 or press Esc. 

Using the Crop command, you can remove the areas that fall outside of the current selection. When you crop to a 
selection boundary, Photoshop

  Elements trims the image to the bounding box that contains the selection. (Irregularly 

shaped selections, such as those made by using the Lasso tool, are cropped to a rectangular bounding box that contains 
the selection.) If you use the Crop command without first making a selection, Photoshop

  Elements trims the image by 

50 pixels from each visible edge.

Use any selection tool, such as the Rectangular Marquee tool 

, to select the part of the image you want to keep.

Choose Image  > Crop.
