I am using PSE 2020 on a Windows 10 Pro PC. I am attempting to crop a 6000x4000 pixel photo down to a 1920x900 pixel center part of the original. It seems as if Elements does a resize down to 1920 width and then crops that down to 900 high.

 

This is the original photo:

This what the Elements crop gives me:

This is what I'm trying to do: (I did this with ACDSee)

Am I doing something wrong? How do I do this in PSE2020?

Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool set to Fixed Size 1920 px x 900 px, then click on your photo, drag inside the selection into place and then Image>Crop.

Thank you 99jon, Greg, and Jeff,

 

That turned out to be much easier than I imagined it would be!

. . .  or click and drag a marquee around the area you want to crop.

Before clicking the green checkmark, drag the corner points so that the crop shield covers the area you need.
