Ok, I'm not known for my Photoshop skills. Like, at all.

I'm hoping I can tell you what I want to do, and you'll all be like, wow, that's so easy, here's what you need to do...

So, I'm a leader for my daughter's girl scouts. Last week, the other leader brought a craft in for the girls where they're supposed to put a picture of themselves in this little foam pumpkin thing. Anyway, I ran home quick and grabbed my camera and did quick snapshots of each of the girls. Since we only need tiny prints of each of the girls' faces (the opening is only about 3/4 of an inch high and maybe 1.5 inches wide), I was planning on just putting all of their faces on a file in PSE 9 that's in the size of an 8x10, getting that printed, and cutting out the faces for the girls.

But, alas, I'm stupid and can't figure out how to do that. I got to the point where I created the blank page, and added the first girl's face. The problem is, I can't figure out how to put the picture where I actually want it (it goes somewhere random on the page). Also, I want to make sure the pictures are small enough to print and I can't figure out how to tell how big they actually are.

Can anyone help me?

There is an icon on your tools bar, it should be on the left hand side of the elements page. It is the very top tool called the move tool(it looks like a four direction arrow). Click on it and you can re size and move your image anywhere on the page. But don't forget to click the little green arrow if you re size it or you will get stuck and not be able to do anything else. Sounds silly but when I first started using this tool I would get stuck and not realize all I had to do was commit to the change by clicking the arrow.
