Leslie, I saw your question about showing detail on your portraits and thought I might be able to help you.

I am not sure about Photoshop Elements. It might be a knocked down version of Photoshop (?) When you save your first image from your camera to your computer, make it a TIFF (.tif) file and change your resolution to 300 and your size to 8 x10.

Most cameras record the file in a huge width x height @ 72 pixels per inch. It is larger so when you resize the resolution it will be an 8 x 10.

Once you have your saved TIFF file you can keep that as your master and crop it with the cropping tool to just the face area and save that to the size you want. Be sure to rename it. I always keep a detail and full TIFF file of my portraits for print purposes.

You can then change the resolution of these back to 72 and before closing the image size box, change the pixels to the requirements here - 400w x 600h. You should have the proportional box clicked so you just put in the one measurement. Make a new folder and save these as jpegs (.jpg) for attaching with the browse button.

I hope I haven't confused you too much.
