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.
-
From the Tool Options bar, select a cropping guide that meets your requirement. You can choose one of Rule of Thirds, Grid, Golden Ratio, or None. For more information on cropping guides, see the section on Using guides for better cropping results in this article.
-
If you want to use a resolution other than that of the original photo, select one of the following options from the Aspect Ratio menu or specify new custom values in the Width and Height boxes in the options bar:
Use Photo Ratio
Displays the original aspect ratio of the photo when you crop. The Width and Height boxes show the values that are used for the cropped image. The Resolution box allows you to change the image resolution.
Preset Size
Specifies a preset size for the cropped photo. If you want your final output to be a specific size, such as 4 x 6 inches to fit a picture frame, choose that preset size.
Note
When you specify values for the Width and Height boxes, the Aspect Ratio menu changes to Custom.
-
- To change the preset size or aspect ratio, choose new values from the Aspect Ratio menu in the options bar.
- To move the marquee to another position, place the pointer inside the bounding box and click-drag, or use the arrow keys to move the marquee.
- To resize the marquee, drag a handle. (If you choose No Restriction from the Aspect Ratio menu, you can constrain the proportions while scaling by holding down Shift as you drag a corner handle.)
- To rotate the marquee, position the pointer outside the bounding box (the pointer turns into a curved arrow
), and drag. (You can’t rotate the crop marquee for an image in Bitmap mode.)note: You can change the color and opacity of the crop shield (the cropped area surrounding the image) by changing the Crop tool preferences. Choose Photoshop Elements Editor > Preferences > Display & Cursors and specify a new Color and Opacity value in the Crop Tool area of the Preferences dialog box. If you don’t want to see a colored shield while cropping, deselect Use Shield.

located in the lower-right corner of the marquee, or double-click the bounding box to finish the cropping. If you want to cancel the cropping operation, click the red 
or press Esc.
Using the Crop command, you can remove the areas that fall outside the current selection. When you crop to a selection boundary, Photoshop Elements trims the image to the bounding box that contains the selection. (Irregularly shaped selections, such as those made by using the Lasso tool, are cropped to a rectangular bounding box that contains the selection.) If you use the Crop command without first making a selection, Photoshop Elements trims the image by 50 pixels from each visible edge.
, to select the part of the image you want to keep.The Crop tool and technique is an essential part of the photo editing workflow. From Photoshop Elements, the Crop tool automatically displays four ready-to-use suggestions. You can choose the best crop for your needs from one of them. You can also continue to crop as much as you want to, after taking one of the four suggestions or rejecting all four suggestions.
To use the automatic cropping suggestions:
- Open a photograph in Photoshop Elements.
- Choose the Crop tool. Four thumbnails displaying the automatic suggestions are visible in the Tool Options box.
- Click a thumbnail that you think is the best fit. However, you can look at more suggestions when you select a different aspect ratio from the drop-down in the tool options.
Note
Hovering your mouse pointer on the suggestions in the Tool Options box will present a preview of how the particular crop suggestion.
Rule of Thirds
Breaks the image in thirds, horizontally and vertically (equidistant lines) into nine parts thus providing a better visual aid to decide a crop. You can commit or cancel a crop suggestion. The crop overlay is decided based on the W and H options in the options bar. For example, your main subject (A tree, person, or animal) can be at 2/3rd of the horizon coinciding with one of the lines.
Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio provides a guideline for placement of objects in a photograph. Positioning objects in the picture along the lines and intersections of this grid makes an image visually appealing. With Golden Ratio grid, you can position an important part of the image. For example, an eye or ornament or a leaf at the point of focus which is highlighted with a concentric circle in the grid.
Use the Swap height and width icon to rotate the grid. Depending on the aspect ratio of the crop box (tall or wide), the vertical or horizontal flip option is displayed.
In the Tool Options bar, click Flip to flip the golden ratio grid horizontally or vertically. The Golden Ratio crop can be rotated clockwise or counter clockwise. The behavior of the flip button is:
- If crop dimensions are such that width is greater than height in crop options bar then a horizontal flip appears (which is shown graphically) as the button.
- If crop dimensions are such that width is less than height in crop options bar then a vertical flip button appears (which is shown graphically) as the button.
The Perspective Crop tool lets you transform the perspective of a picture while cropping it. This is especially useful when you have an image with keystone or barrel distortion. Distortion occurs when an object is photographed from an angle rather than from a straight on view, or when wide-angle lenses are used to photograph a large expanse of an object. For example, if you take a picture of a tall building from the ground level, the edges of the building appear closer to each other at the top than they do at the bottom.
-
Use the corners of the selection to modify the shape of the marquee. Hover your mouse pointer on any corner, and when the pointer turns white, click and move the corner.
Note
For best results, move the corners to align the vertical edge of the marquee with a pattern or object in the photo that should appear vertical.
Modify the shape of the marquee to align the vertical lines in the image.
to transform the perspective and crop the image to the region of the marquee.
The Cookie Cutter tool crops a photo into a shape that you choose. After you drag the shape in your photo, you can move and resize the bounding box until you have just the area you want.
The canvas is the workspace around an existing image, within the image window. It is the full editable area of an image. You can increase or decrease the size of the canvas, on any side of an image. Added canvas appears in the currently selected background color on the Background layer (by default), or selected canvas extension color from the Canvas size window. In other layers, the added canvas is transparent.
Camera shake may cause an image to be improperly aligned. For example, the horizon in the picture of a sunset may not be perfectly horizontal. In Photoshop Elements, you can realign the photo to cause the horizon to be perfectly horizontal. You can use the Straighten tool (P) to realign an image vertically or horizontally. If necessary, choose to also automatically resize or crops the canvas to accommodate straightening of the image.
- In Quick mode, with the Straighten tool (P) active, simply draw a line along the horizon (if visible). If not visible, draw a line that you consider must represent the horizontal axis of the photo.
The photo is straightened, and depending on the option you chose, any empty edges created are automatically filled.
-
Grow Or Shrink Canvas To Fit
Resizes the canvas to fit the rotated image. Straightening causes corners of the image to fall outside of the current canvas. The straightened image will contain areas of blank background, but no pixels are clipped.
Crop To Remove Background
Crops the image to remove any blank background area that becomes visible after straightening. Some pixels will be clipped.
Crop To Original Size
Keeps the canvas the same size as the original image. The straightened image will include areas of blank background and some pixels will be clipped.
Straightening and cropping to remove the background
Note
The three straighten options are enabled when the Rotate All Layers options is enabled.
-
- To align horizontally, draw a line in the image to represent the new straight horizontal edge. For example, you may have the image of a sunset with an improperly aligned horizon. Draw a horizontal line parallel to the horizon.
- To align vertically, click the starting point, hold down Command, and drag to represent the new straight vertical line. For example, you may have the image of a person in a room that does not seem correctly aligned. Press Command, and draw a vertical line parallel to the vertical edge of a shelf, or lampstand.
- To align horizontally, draw a line in the image to represent the new straight horizontal edge. For example, you may have the image of a sunset with an improperly aligned horizon. Draw a horizontal line parallel to the horizon.
- To automatically straighten the image and leave the canvas around the image, choose Image > Rotate > Straighten Image. The straightened image contains areas of blank background, but no pixels are clipped.
- To automatically straighten and crop the image, choose Image > Rotate > Straighten And Crop Image. The straightened image does not contain areas of blank background, but some pixels are clipped.
The Straighten tool has an enhanced option to automatically fill the edges with relevant image data intelligently, instead of filling in background color or transparent pixels.
The Autofill edges option is available only in the Grow or Shrink and Original Size modes. Before you draw a line to enable image straightening, select the Autofill edges checkbox. When you draw the line, any gaps created along the edges of the photo are automatically and intelligently filled.
If you scanned several pictures at once on a flatbed scanner, you can automatically divide and straighten the scanned image into its component photos. The photos must have a clear separation between them.
-
Choose Image > Divide Scanned Photos. Photoshop Elements automatically divides the image and places each photo in a separate file.
Note
For images with white around the border (images of light skies, snow, and so on), this command works best if you cover the image on the scanner with a piece of dark paper.
