resizing to 7x5 - help!

[Cris_L]

If I want to order a 7 x 5 print how should I resize it?

If i use resize image in elements maintain the same ratio it is actually 7 x 6.66667 or similar...so nearly half and inch difference.

Is this the correct way or should I set the crop tool to 7 x 5 and do it that way?

cheers

If I wanted it to be exact then I would use the crop tool as you suggest.

if you put the dpi in the crop tool you can crop and resize at the same time - remember to keep copies of the uncropped too!

as said, crop to the size, crop to 300 dpi also, save with a different name so you keep both files aswell for future use
