Carol here is the Photoshop Elements process (which is a great program by-the-way, it just doesn't have the technical things Graphic Artist use for PrePress).
1. Go to "File" pull down the menu to open.
2. Find the picture you want and click open
3. Go to "image" pull down to "resize" arrow should point you to "image resize"
4. First change the resolution to 72 pixels/inch, make sure you do this first. You should have the "constrain proportions and re sample image" boxes clicked.
5. Now go to the top where it says "Pixel Dimensions" for the requirements here your image may not exceed 400 x 600, so type in 400 in the width box, double check that the height is under 600. If the height is larger, type in 600 in the height and the width box will "come with" since you have "constrained the proportions". Remember before you click OK, that you have changed the resolution to 72. If you forgot to do this you will see that the height and width will change when you do, so put the 400 x 600 in again before you close the window.
6. Now you are ready to save your image.
7. Go to the "file" menu and pull down to "save as". change the name of your file to a new one
8. Pull down the "format" bar and save it as a JPEG, this should add the correct ending ie; .jpg.
9. You will get a pop up window that says "Quality" that has a numerical box a pull down and a slider bar. Since Cynthia has reduced the size I usually use the highest MEDIUM which is a 7 to upload. Type in a 7 and click OK.
10. You are ready to upload, I think it has been explained above.
I hope this helps.
