The rule of thirds is a basic principle in photography and graphic design. Use the rule of thirds to compose a photograph or place important objects on a canvas. Imagine a grid laid out on top of your image, dividing your photo in thirds horizontally and vertically. Position important objects at the intersections of the lines.
In this video lesson, learn how to set up a grid in Photoshop Elements 8. Then, use the grid to position elements on the page, find the center of the page, apply the Rule of Thirds to your photo – and more.
