Photoshop Cropping Tutorial

Video Transcript

"Adobe Photo Shop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Okay guys on this little tutorial here I am going to talk a little bit about ?The crop tool". The crop tool is something that everybody has grown up with and we know exactly what it does. So, what I am going to demonstrate obviously, you just, well basically what I am going to do is, first hold on one second, I am going to show everybody where the Crop tool is in Photo Shop because the beginners do not know where it is at. It is right over here on your left hand side and the short cut for that is "C". So once you get your Crop Tool all you basically do is click and drag and the gray shows you what is going to be cropped out and the light shows you what is going to be left. So if I click that is what is left, okay, so obviously you guys got that. What I wanted to show about the Crop Tool is the Perspective Crop Tool and it is in the same category as the Crop Tool right over, but all you do is click and drag and obviously this picture is leaning just a little bit to the right so I am going to grab, I am going to select the whole image like that. But you have to make sure up over here where my cursor is where it says "perspective", you have to make sure that is checked, because once that is checked you can go ahead and click one side and one side is going to moved over just like that. You can see right there, nothing else is moved but that area, so you click and it makes your photo straight up and down, looks perfect and you want to see the before and after, that is the before and that is the after. So it is a very powerful tool, you might have to sacrifice a little image quality to use this tool but overall it is very effective."
