You've gotta change the setting right next to the width and height boxes to fixed aspect ratio. Then, you can fill in the values. But where do you go from there? The image remains unchanged and the subsequent crops aren't fixed to that aspect ratio. Mark I'm assuming Elements crop tool is the same as 6.0's crop tool. you click on the crop tool the dialog box will appear with hight, width, PPI, and inches/cm set your height, width, for the image size that you want set the ppi the same as the image that you are working on put your cursor inside the image, it should change to the crop tool icon start at one corner, hold down the left mouse button and drag a bounding box in the aspect ratio you set up will appear. by dragging a corner you can make the crop more or less tight by left clicking and holding with the cursor inside the box you can move the crop box without changing the size. when you get it in the position you want it with the cursor inside the box hit enter it will crop to the box outline and your image will be the size and PPI you specified, the image will then appear as cropped.
