Very often in Photoshop, you're going to want to crop away portions of an image that you don't want to use. So select the Crop tool from this tool palette right here, and that's this tool right here. Click and drag diagonally around the area that you want to keep, and Photoshop will default to shielding the cropped area with this dark color which is black at 75% opacity. You can change the color if you wish to any other color and opacity for that matter. But for most things this is fine. If this is exactly what you want, you can commit to the crop by hitting the Enter key or clicking on this check box. I am going to undo that, so I can show you some more features of the crop tool. If you wish, you could type in a precise resolution and width and height dimensions that you want to crop tool to follow. I am going to type in 5 inches wide but 4 inches tall. And I will leave the resolution empty, so it does not resize my picture. Now when I use the Crop tool, notice that I am constrained to this exact 4 X 5 inch shape. Again if you want to commit to that, hit the Enter key or click the checkbox. If you don't, if you want to get back to where you started, click the 'X', and it brings your picture back un-cropped. If you want to use the exact dimensions and resolution of the original image, click Front Image. And what happens is that that information, the width and height of my original image and resolution is dropped right into these boxes. And now, notice when I use the Crop tool I get the same effect of having the Crop tool be constrained. But if I committed to this, it would actually resize or interpolate my picture. I will undo that, and I'll click clear. If there are any values in here and you want your Crop tool just to work normally so that it is not constrained, make sure that there are no values in here. You can do that by hitting the Clear button or moving into each box and selecting the data and deleting it. I want to show you another great feature with the Crop tool and that's the ability to change perspective. And in this case you can see that my picture of these buildings, which were shot with the wide angle lens near the ground floor, has created this unfortunate falling backwards of the buildings effect. I need to compensate for that by using the perspective feature of the crop tool. So I'm going to pull out the crop tool, and this time I am going to enable the Perspective feature. And what this does is it allows me to move the corner points independently. I am going to move this corner point till this line is parallel to the building's edge. So that looks pretty good. I might move it back just a bit, and I will do the same over here. I'll get this corner point and make it parallel. And it's actually it is parallel because it's right on the edge, but I want to pull it out a bit. Now when I enable this crop to take place, it should correct for my bad perspective. And it looks like I have done something wrong. I need to reposition my center point, and you can see that it actually did correct the bad perspective of my buildings. So that's enabling the Perspective feature of the Crop tool.
