Cropping an image<br />

Cropping is the electronic equivalent of taking a pair of scissors to a photograph,<br />

except of course with a pair of scissors there is no second chance! Cropping<br />

deletes all of the pixels outside the crop selection area, and then resizes the image<br />

canvas so that only the area inside the crop selection remains. Use it to focus on<br />

an area of interest—either for practical reasons or to improve photo<br />

composition.<br />

For more on why you may wish to crop, or for inspiration, see<br />

Importance of cropping in <strong>PhotoPlus</strong> Help.<br />

You can crop larger areas when photos are shot at a high resolution.<br />

Keep this in mind before taking photos and make sure your camera<br />

is set to its highest resolution and image quality.<br />

size.
