Cropping images in Photoshop Tutorial - The Steps


  • Firstly open Photoshop, then go into -> File -> Open, then locate the file you want to resize, left click on it, then click Open.
  • Grab the Crop tool, or simply hit the button C on your keyboard. Now to crop, all you need to do is click and drag.
  • How do I click and drag? Left click in one of the corners, I normally start with the top left corner of the photograph. Hold the mouse down and drag your mouse across the image, making an inside square and an outside square, The outside square is the stuff you’re cutting out, the inside of the square is what you’re keeping. Once you’ve done that, your photograph should look like this.
  • This last part is pretty simple, find the File, Edit, Image, Layer…. toolbar and just below that, you’ll see something like this. Click the little tick button that’s highlighted in Red.
  • Anddd….. you’re done! I hope this tutorial was helpful, however if it was a little confusing and you’d like some help then feel free to leave a comment below regarding this Cropping images in Photoshop Tutorial.
