Crop an Image?

By the way, before I tell you how to crop, if you read the previous chapters on Camera Raw, you might be thinking, “Didn’t you just show me how to do all this stuff?” Yes, you can do almost (almost) all of this in Camera Raw, but you shouldn’t have to go back to Camera Raw if you need to do a simple crop (interesting fact: once you open a RAW image, and then open Camera Raw as a filter, the Crop feature is no longer there. Weird, I know). Okay, back to cropping in Photoshop. Press C to get the Crop tool and it puts a cropping border around your entire image. To crop, click-and-drag on any of the little handles that appear on the sides and corners. To move the entire cropping border, just click inside it and drag it where you want it. To resize the border proportionally, first press-and-hold the Shift key, then click-and-drag on one of those corner or side handles and drag in/out. To flip your crop from wide to tall (or vice versa), just press the X key on your keyboard. To rotate your crop, move your cursor outside the cropping border and it changes into a double-headed arrow. Now, you can click-and-drag to rotate the entire crop border. To delete your cropping border altogether, just press the Esc key on your keyboard. When the crop is set up just like you want it, press the Return (PC: Enter) key to lock in your crop.
