Elements HELP Please!

[Old Timer]

I have been using Photoshop for the last several years, but recently had a computer crash and lost my copy. In a cost saving measure I purchased Elements. My question is how do I resize??? I can not for the life of me figure out how to resize to post here on PR. Please help an Old Timer that is stumbling in the dark.

I have Elements 5.0. I am not at work, but when I get home I will look in my Missing Manual book and let you know....

I would really appreciate it. I know I must be overlooking something very simple. I never had any problems changing to pixel dimensions in CS, but can't seem to find that option in Elements.

OT... After you open and edit your image, you can go to Image on the tool bar. It is next to Edit (File, Edit, Image, Enhance, ect). Then go to Resize. Then go to Image size. You can change the size of the image and the resolution ect. You can save for e-mail, web ect.

Image → Resize→ Image Size.

This is for Elements 5.0, but I am sure it is like that for 6.0 as well.

Good luck, let me know who it works....

I can do all that just can't find a way to resize the the pixel dimensions for posting on PR.

When you 'save' the pic it will give you a window that asks for what quality you want it resized. I save mine at about 8 or 9 which seems to be fine for posting.

Sorry ....

I did not realize what you meant. Under image size it gives me a choice of pixel dimensions or document size. I resize it with that, then when you save it, it will ask you for quality and I use 9 or 10 and let it tell me what size it will be when saved. Then I adjust to the highest quality that will be ok for this site. This is how I have been doing it.

Let me know if this works....

I use save for web under file and then set the image size tyo 640x? and quality to meet the file requirements. Always been acceptable since I started to use Elements 6.0
