Slide 1: 

Quick Tutorials In Adobe Photoshop Elements Tutorial 1: From Liberty Cottage: http://libertycottage.blogspot.com How to resize images How to copy multiple images onto a single page How to flatten a .psd file

Slide 2: 

Open Photoshop Elements. Click File  New  Blank File

Slide 3: 

In the first drop down box, select “International Paper” (if you use A4 paper as standard)

Slide 4: 

In the ‘size’ drop down menu, select A4 and a new blank A4 size canvas will appear

Slide 5: 

To open your photographs, select File  Open

Slide 6: 

Navigate to the photos that you want and double click to open.

Slide 7: 

To change the size of your image, click Image  Image Size

Slide 8: 

The resolution should usually be 300.

Slide 9: 

You can change the measurements to centimetres, inches, pixels etc. and change to the size you require by typing in numbers

Slide 10: 

I changed mine to 6 inches by 4 inches and resolution to 300. Note: ‘Constrain Proportions’ box is ticked (see later)

Slide 11: 

Lo and behold, the picture is now the size you require.

Slide 12: 

Hold CTRL+C and you will see marching ants moving around the outside of the image.

Slide 13: 

Double click on the first project at the bottom of the screen to go back to your A4 blank page.

Slide 14: 

Click Edit  Paste

Slide 15: 

Ta Dah!! Now for the next image!

Slide 16: 

To open your photographs, select File  Open

Slide 17: 

Navigate to the photos that you want and double click to open.

Slide 18: 

Once your 2nd image is open, click Image  Image Size For the purpose of demonstration, I have unticked “constrain proportions and selected to make my image long and thin: 8 inches by 2 inches.

Slide 19: 

By unticking “constrain proportions” my image is now skewed (which is not a good thing but good to demonstrate how it works).

Slide 20: 

Hold CTRL+C again to get the marching ants around the edge

Slide 21: 

Go back to the A4 document by double clicking the project. Then click Edit Paste

Slide 22: 

Go back to the A4 document by double clicking the project. Then click Edit Paste ......Tah Dah Take 2!

Slide 23: 

You can add more photos if you can fit them onto the page. I always seem to have trouble printing in PSE so I click File  Save As

Slide 24: 

Save the file as a .jpeg

Slide 25: 

Locate the .jpeg and double click to open it. Print directly from there and follow the on-screen wizard

Slide 26: 

All finished! Well done.. ...actually... ....come a little closer.... ....there’s more.

Slide 27: 

To change from a layered .psd file to a flat .jpeg Click Layer  Flatten Image Watch here! Template: Cathy Zielske No. 8

Slide 28: 

Tah Dah! ..and now you have a flat image with just one layer. If this was a scrapbook page you could copy it directly now to wherever you wanted as a .jpeg.

Slide 29: 

Make sure that you doubly save Save As BOTH a: .psd file .jpeg image That way you can edit the image in the .psd file at a later date.
