TV: I was going to suggest that it must be a great picture if you wanted 20 of them, but...I'll stop being flippant and see if I can help.

When you open the picture in Elements, you need to go into Image>Resize>Image Size and check the pixel dimensions; the width and length need to be equal to create a 2 inch by 2 inch picture. Probably the easiest way to do that is:

1. Pick the Crop tool from the toolbox and set the dimensions to 2 inches by 2 inches at a resolution of 250 ppi.
2. Click on your picture and drag out a cropping box to include as much of the picture as you want; it'll be square, because you set 2 by 2 in the width and height.
3. When you have it the way you want it, click on the check mark on the Crop tool toolbar above; it'll crop, and now you have a 2 inch picture at 250 ppi.
4. Click on another tool, like the Move tool, then go to File>New and open a new canvas with the dimensions 8 inches by 10 inches with a resolution of 250 ppi.
5. With the Move tool chosen, go back to your original picture, click and hold the mouse and drag it onto the empty canvas you just created. You should now have one copy of the picture on your canvas.
6. Do 5 again and now you'll have two pictures on your canvas. Move them around so they're not on top of each other.
7. Print the new canvas with the two pictures on it.

See if that works for you; please let us know if you need more details!

According to US Dept of State passport renewal form DS-82, one needs

submit two recent identical photos with light plain background. The schematic on the form shows what's wanted is apparently a 2" x 2" square photo. I broke out my Digital camera and took a photo of the person renewing their passport, uploaded it to Adobe PhotoShop Album (because for some reason I've yet to fathom I can't seem to directly upload it to Elements
2.0) and then elected to fix the image in Elements 2.0. When I told Elements
2.0 I wanted to print the image, I indicated I'd be interested in the 20 2" x 2" sheet. I am surprised to learn the images are not actually as advertised, i.e. they are exactly 2" across but approx 1.75" tall. I really don't need twenty of these; just two with the dimensions that State Dept is asking for on its renewal form. Is there some way that I can get past this!?

BTW -- I'm really new at all this.
