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

Your monitor’s resolution is described in pixel dimensions. For example, if your monitor resolution is set to 1600 x 
1200 and your photo’s pixel dimensions are the same size, at 100%, the photo will fill the screen. The size an image 
appears on-screen depends on a combination of factors: the pixel dimensions of the image, the monitor size, and the 
monitor resolution setting. In Photoshop

  Elements, you can change the image magnification on-screen, so you can 

easily work with images of any pixel dimensions.

When preparing images for on-screen viewing, you should consider the lowest monitor resolution that your photo is 
likely to be viewed on. 

❖

Click-hold the file information box at the bottom of the document. The  box displays the width and height of the 
image (in the unit of measurement currently selected for the rulers), dimensions in total image pixels, the  number 
of color channels, and the image resolution (ppi).

❖

Do one of the following:

•

Choose View

  > Print Size.

•

Select the Hand tool or Zoom tool, and click Print Size in the options bar.

The magnification of the image is adjusted to display its approximate printed size, as specified in the Document Size 
section of the Image Size dialog box. Keep in mind that the size and resolution of your monitor affect the on-screen 
print size.

You might need to change the print dimensions and resolution if you are sending the image to a print shop that 
requires files to be at a specific resolution. 

If you are printing directly from Photoshop

  Elements, you don’t have to perform this procedure. Instead, you can 

choose a size in the Print dialog box and Photoshop

  Elements applies the appropriate image resolution.

Choose Image  > Resize

 

> Image Size.
