Quick cropping question...

    Heya chaps, encountered a small issue in elements. I've wondering is there any way I can maintain the length x height ratio when cropping? I've been printing bordered 6 x 4s at home (the printer adds the border) and occasionally, depending on how the original image was cropped, the border on he top is fatter than that on the side.

    I'm probably not explaining this very well, but is there something I can do in Photoshop to maintain the 3:2 ration while cropping?

    Any help would be great guys.

    You should be able to change the Crop Tool from Normal to Fixed Aspect Ratio, then define the required Aspect Ratio.

    I think you can also hold down a key to maintain the current ratio but cannot recall which one, possibly the space bar?

    Off the top of my head the shift key will maintain the current aspect ratio while you drag.
