Opacity: It determines the opacity of the shield. Show Cropped Area: By turning this feature off, Photoshop will not show the area that is going to be cropped.Įnable Crop Shield: By turning this feature on, Photoshop will darken the area(shield) that is going to be cropped.Ĭolor: It determines the color of the shield. Use Classic Mode: If you have used Photoshop CS5 or older version in past and you think that cropping in Photoshop CS6 is somewhat difficult then you can revert back to old cropping method by turning this option on.Īuto Center Preview: By turning this option on, Photoshop will automatically put the unshielded are at the center of the window. Generally I use “rules of third” which displays 2 horizontal lines with 2 vertical lines while cropping. Note that a large part of your image will be cropped out after you straighten your image. You just need to drag the mouse as per your requirement and Photoshop will tilt your image. If you have an image and you want to tilt the image then you can use this tool. You can see below two images for better understanding. This option helps you to change your portrait oriented cropping to landscape orientation and vice versa. Rotate the Crop Box Between Portrait and Landscape Orientation Unlike constrained crop you can crop your photo with any dimension you want.
PHOTOSHOP CROP PHOTO FULL
By choosing this option, you have full flexibility over your crop tool. Just opposite of constrained crop is unconstrained crop. Then you can use 5 x 7 constrained crop to crop your photo such that the aspect ratio of the cropped photo will be of 5 x 7. Suppose you want to print one of your photo for 5 x 7 frame. The main use of constrained crop comes while printing an image. You can also save that as your preset after checking “save as crop preset”. Just fill the width, height and resolution you want and then click on OK. If you cannot see the preset you want then you can click on “size and resolution” for custom constrained cropping. Just like this we have many other cropping presets available in Photoshop like 4 x 5, 8.5 x 11 etc. I showed you an example of 1 x 1 constrained crop. In the above example you can see that the width is equal to the height. Then Photoshop will adjust the crop handle in such a way that my image height will always be equal to my image height. This means that my width will always be equal to my height. Suppose I put a constrained of 1 x 1 (square) means that the ratio between my image height and my image width will always be equal to one.

Means the ratio of your image height and your image width will always be constant. First let me introduce you the option bar of “crop tool”Ĭonstrained cropping lets you to crop your photo only in a definite aspect ratio. You can do much more with crop tool in Photoshop CC. It denotes the area that are going to be cropped. The black portion that you are seeing is called shield.

If you think that you have made a mistake then press ctrl+Z/cmd+Z to undo the last action. [To crop a photo just drag the handle as per your requirement and your photo will be cropped. Just drag the handle and press enter/return and your cropping will be done. These handles are new in Photoshop CC and saves us lot of time to crop images. 4 at the corners and other 4 at the sides. You can also select it from the tool panel(left one).Īfter selecting crop tool you can able to see 8 handles at the edges of the image. To select crop tool all you need is to press shift+ C again and again until it comes. A bad crop or no crop can ruin your photo while a good crop gives more perfection to your photo.] Definitely cropping is one of the most used method to define your center of attraction in your photo.
