Cropping an Image
Cropping is important because it allows you to select what components you want to delete or keep in an image. It gives you the opportunity to eliminate unnecessary space and focus upon the aspects of the image that you find most important.
How to Crop
Step 1: Select the crop
tool (refer to visual on left )
Step 2: Place the cursor along the left edge, directly
below the getty images logo.
Step 3: Click and drag all the way to the right edge
and down to the bottom edge.
You will see a dotted box outlining the area of the image that will
be shown (everything outside of the box will be deleted).
Step 4: On the menu bar along the top, select “Image”
-> ”Crop”
Step 5: Press the “apple” key on the keyboard
and the letter “d” (or “control” and “d”
on a p.c.).
This eliminates the dotted box and finalizes the cropping process.
Step 6: Go to File -> Save.
