Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to show you the fun crop tool. Let's have a look at it. As you can see over here right under our lasso tool here we have the crop tool and the hot key C. So if we hit it here what we can do is we can come over here and let's say we already got something selected let's deselect that. Let's say we want to just cut this picture down like I don't like the boat. So to get rid of it we'll come up here and create a square like so. Maybe go all the grayed out pieces will be the pieces that will be removed from this photo. So we can actually grab these control points here and move it around to get a better picture. Let's make this look very, there we go. No, I don't like that it's a little bit off balance so I'll come up here to the top. Actually you can just click on the inside and just move it around like that. So let's grab it on the top here and move it down nice panoramic. Now all we have to do to finish it off is hit enter. There it is a nice new cropped photo. Let's hit command zero to bring it up some and there it is. So play around with your crop tool, have fun with it and enjoy."
