Cropping with Photoshop Elements 2024

First time on the forum - just registered. I have a new Lenovo Yoga.PC with Photoshop 2024 installed. My old PSE was something like 9 or 10, so ancient.

I am coming along slowly on learning this much newer version, but I can see I will have plenty of questions.

So here is my first.

I want to be able to crop images. With the image on the screen and set to Basic, I can key on the cropping tool and have the grid appear on the image. Then I can move the lines to crop to suit and I see the cropped image on the screen.

The problem occurs when I try save it, by using 'Save as....' in the Edit column. But it does not save cropped. What is saved is the image before I cropped.

This one has me stumped as my only frame of reference is my old PSE edition on which this step was completely simple.

So any help to figure this one out would be greatly appreciate.

Hello @RetCapt and welcome to ElevenForum.

After you do the "selection" part of the cropping... there should be another tool (green check mark in lower right corner of cropped area), where you get to tell it to actually... "crop image".
THEN, you can save the image.







Here's some other things that may help...

Instead of "save as" try "export" option

If exporting doesn’t help, be sure to check that the extension you are saving the file as is the same extention as the original. If you’re not prompted to overwrite, you’re possibly saving it as a different image type?

Ghot,

The green check mark did it instantly. Duh on my part. I should have tried that . I just did not relate that obscure check mark to my old software.

I booted up this afternoon thinking I was I going to have to fight this all afternoon. Not so with your info.

I marked 'great support' since it was. Hope that was the proper means to express appreciation.

Again, thank you very much.
