Chapter 9: Cropping, resizing, retouching, 
and transforming photos
To create a customized image composition, you can crop and resize images. Cropping a photo can create a focal point 
for a picture, or remove distracting background images. Resizing a photo lets you include more pictures on a page, or 
fit photos better into a layout. You can retouch certain areas of a photo to fix red eye, replace colors, and soften, blur, 
and sharpen an image. You can also rotate, resize, distort or apply perspective to a photo, layer, or selection, and even 
manipulate a flat, two-dimensional image as if it were a solid, three-dimensional object.
Cropping
Crop an image
The Crop tool removes the part of an image surrounding the crop marquee, or selection. Cropping is useful for 
removing distracting background elements and creating a focus for your photo. By default, when you crop a photo, 
the resolution remains the same as the original photo. Using the Photo Ratio option allows you to view and modify the 
size and resolution when cropping a photo. If you use a preset size, the resolution changes to fit the preset.
