Notes and Tips: |
 |
The options the Crop tool options Presets drop-list can be particularly useful if you need to crop images to standard photo or print sizes. For more information on the Crop tool, refer to the Help system or the User Guide. |
 |
To modify the shaded area outside the crop rectangle, or to turn off shading, choose File > Preferences > General Program Preferences, click the Transparency and Shading tab, and use that tab's Shading options. |

Before applying photo corrections such as One Step Photo Fix or many of the Adjust menu commands, you may want to crop the image so the corrections don't take unwanted image areas into effect. |
