Introduction
Adobe Photoshop is a widely used program for editing images. It has a variety of tools that can be used to crop and resize images. This tutorial will show you how to use the crop and resize tools in Adobe Photoshop.
Cropping an Image
The crop tool can be used to remove unwanted parts of an image. To crop an image, select the crop tool from the toolbar. Then, click and drag the crop tool to select the area of the image that you want to keep. When you are satisfied with the selection, press the enter key to crop the image. The cropped image will be saved as a new file.
Resizing an Image
The resize tool can be used to change the dimensions of an image. To resize an image, select the resize tool from the toolbar. Then, enter the new width and height of the image. The image will be resized to the new dimensions. The resized image will be saved as a new file.
Saving Your Image
After you have cropped and/or resized your image, you will need to save it. To do this, select the “File” menu and then select “Save As.” Enter a name for the file and select the file format that you want to save the image in. Then, click the “Save” button.
When you have an image that you want to use for a project, but it’s not quite the right size or shape, you can use Adobe Photoshop to resize and/or crop the image to fit your needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
First, open the image in Photoshop. You can do this by going to File > Open, or by double-clicking on the image file from your computer’s file explorer window.
Once the image is open in Photoshop, select the “Crop Tool” from the Toolbar on the left side of the screen.
With the Crop Tool selected, click and drag on the image to create a rectangular selection around the area that you want to keep. As you’re dragging, you’ll see a grid overlay appear, which can help you keep the selection level.
Once you’ve made your selection, you can adjust it by clicking on the edges or corners of the selection and dragging them in or out.
When you’re happy with the selection, press the Enter or Return key on your keyboard to crop the image.
Now that you’ve cropped the image, it’s time to resize it. Go to Image > Image Size.
In the Image Size dialog box, you’ll see the current width and height of the image in pixels. You can change either of these values to resize the image.
If you want to preserve the aspect ratio of the image (so that it doesn’t get distorted), make sure the “Constrain Proportions” checkbox is selected.
Once you’ve entered the new width and height values, click the “OK” button to resize the image.
And that’s all there is to it! With just a few simple steps, you can crop and resize any image in Adobe Photoshop.
If you’re not happy with the results of the Crop tool, you can always press the Esc key to cancel the operation.
After you’ve cropped your image, you can resize it by going to Image > Image Size. In the Image Size dialog box, you can enter new values for the width and height of your image. The Resolution field lets you control the number of pixels per inch in your image. The higher the resolution, the more detail your image will contain, but it will also be larger in file size.
You can also resize your image by going to Edit > Transform > Scale. This will bring up a bounding box around your image, which you can use to resize it. You can also use the handles on the bounding box to skew or rotate your image.
When you’re happy with the results, press Enter or Return to apply the changes.
If you need to crop and resize a photo for a specific dimension, such as for a Facebook cover photo or Twitter profile photo, you can use the Crop tool to enter the desired dimensions. First, select the Crop tool from the Toolbar. Then, in the Options bar, enter the desired width and height.
Next, click and drag on the photo to draw a cropping rectangle. As you’re dragging, you’ll see the width and height values in the Options bar update to reflect the size of the cropping rectangle. When the cropping rectangle is the desired size, release the mouse button.
Finally, press Enter or Return to apply the changes.
