Cropping an image
Photoshop provides two ways to crop an image:
•
The Image > Crop command discards the area
outside of a rectangular selection and keeps the
same resolution as the original.
•
The crop tool ( ) lets you crop an image by
dragging over the area you want to keep. The
advantage of using the crop tool is that you can
rotate and resample the area as you crop. See
“About resampling” on page 48 for more infor-
mation on resampling.
To crop an image using the Crop command:
1
Use the rectangle marquee tool to select the part
of the image you want to keep. Make sure that the
Feather option is set to 0 pixels. (See “Feathering”
on page 147.)
2 Choose Image > Crop.
To use the crop tool:
1
Select the crop tool ( ).
2
Drag over the part of the image you want to
keep.
When you release the mouse button, the crop
marquee appears as a bounding box with handles
at the corners and sides.
3 Adjust the crop marquee:
•
To move the marquee to another position,
position the pointer inside the bounding box
and drag.
•
To scale the marquee, drag a handle. To
constrain the proportions, hold down Shift as
you drag a corner handle.
