How Do I Crop Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:04 pm

There are a few different ways to crop an image in Photoshop. The first way is to use the Crop Tool, which is located in the Tools palette.

To use the Crop Tool, simply select it and then click and drag on the image to create a cropping border. You can also use the Crop Tool to straighten an image by selecting the Straighten option from the options bar.

Another way to crop an image is to use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, which is also located in the Tools palette. To use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, simply select it and then click and drag on the image to create a cropping border.

You can also use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to create a custom shape crop by selecting the Custom Shape option from the options bar.

PRO TIP: When cropping an image in Photoshop, be careful not to lose any important details that you may want to keep in the final version of the image. Also, make sure that the aspect ratio of the image is maintained so that the image does not appear distorted.

Once you have created a cropping border, you can adjust it by clicking and dragging on the handles that appear around the border. When you are happy with your cropping border, simply press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac) to crop the image. You can also cancel a crop by pressing Esc.

  • 1. Select the Crop Tool from the Tools palette.
