AO2- Photoshop Tasks
During this editing workshop I used Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 software while using JPEG images to edit throughout.
Here are some ways to crop an image:
Rotation Crop
The first crop type I did was to crop the image, but rotate it, this then meant the image would be straight when I crop it. To do this I have to highlight the area I wanted it to be cropped to, I then hovered my mouse over one of the corners and it then gives you the option to rotate the side.
This was the final image after the rotation cropping, the flower has no background and is rotated to look straight on instead of having a slight tilt to the flower.
Hidden Crop
This is a type of cropping where the edit done is not final. To do this crop you highlight the area you want to crop the image size to. After doing this you then select the 'hide' section up the top of the page, this then hides the area that is not selected.
Crop Size Templates
This section is when you click the crop option and then go to the top corner that has the crop tool again but with a down select arrow, you then click this arrow and this shows you some size selections for cropping. This allows you to crop the image to a specific size you need.
Perspective Crop
This cropping type is when you select the crop tool and then click the perspective option along the top. This perspective option allows you to draw the sides of the cropping box to fit with the shape you need to. This is particularly useful when cropping images with buildings as you can keep the crop at the end of buildings even if they aren't straight.
You then create a box with the crop tool, including the side that isn't straight and Photoshop produces an image which is even and not angled in any way.
This is the final image after this type of cropping. As you can see I missed a slight edge, on the left, of a building. However you can go back and crop it closer to remove that edge. Photoshop has distorted the image to ensure it is a straight and even rectangle.
