If an image is too large or contains a lot of extra space, you can crop the image to a
smaller size. Cropping is a good way to remove excess white space or background in
an image.
To Crop an Image
- Use one of the selection tools to select the portion of the image you wish to keep.
The most commonly used selection tool for this purpose is the Marquee tool
. The
Marquee Tool changes the cursor to display a crosshair with which you can then draw a box
around the area of the image you want to select. The other selection tools are the
Magic Wand ,
Lasso ,
and the Find Color tool . For
more information, please see the Image Processing tools and plugins topic.
- The selection is identified by a border of black and white dashes.
- Select Crop from the Image menu. The image area
outside the selection is removed from the image and the image size is shrunk to the
selected portion.
