Took great pictures at the Birthday Party today. I love the 5x5 format so I used the crop tool in Elements for the 5x5 picture size. Hit Save As...JPEG, High Resolution. Saves it as 600x600pixels. On SmugMug, the minimum size to order online is 625x625. How do I do up the pixels but still keep the integrity of the 5x5? Thanks everybody!

    I don't have PSE, but...

    First things first. When you did a Save As, did you save the file under a different name? Do you still have the original file intact and unchanged?

    This almost a question and a suggestion but what about using free transform tool ?

    Creat a new blank file to the 5X5 then drag in the orginal file and the free transform to fit the new size.

    Or add a border. 25 pixels isn't that much. You'll hardly notice it.

    Just save them in size 625x625 instead of 600x600 !
