Objective The objective of this section is to give you step-by-step directions on how to crop a picture using Adobe Photoshop 3.
Cropping Cropping your picture is almost always necessary to produce a graphic that is more visually pleasing. Another benefit is by cropping you are also reducing the size of the image file. A smaller file means your image will upload onto your web page faster.

  1. Select the crop tool (pictured as the darkened button to the right)

  2. Drag a box around the area you want to keep. Much like you did to select the image when you were scanning.

  3. When you move your cursor into the area you want to keep it turns into scissors. You can then click on the area you want to keep.
