How would I maintain (lock) the "aspect ratio" for cropping photos in Photoshop Elements V 3.0 ?
Thank you.
Discussion is locked
set a fixed dimension in the crop tool. In Photoshop, you can tell the crop tool that you want, for example, an 8x10 at 300ppi. You can then 'draw' the 8x10 selection. Photoshop will maintain the proportions, and convert the final crop to the desired size.
Open a photograph
Click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool
..on the horizontal tool bar locate "Mode...Normal..."
Click the checkmark to the right of "Normal"
Click "Fixed Aspect Ratio"
Type in the Width and Height. That will be your aspect ratio.
Draw your rectangle and it will be to your aspect ratio.
That setting will remain until you change it.

Thanks, Joe,

Things are indeed getting busy in the Digital Camera forum.
Christmas Rush.
And I swear....the questions are tougher this year.
Don't wait till after Christmas hoping to get a bargain price on a camera.
The bargains are available now ... before Christmas.
