Cropping Images

Sometimes when we capture a photograph or compose an image we see a need to remove (or crop) the outer parts of the picture. Cropping an image helps us clear away a distracting portion. The result helps us and others who view our image focus on its subject matter. Cropping is a powerful way of improving images. Careful, well-executed crops have the power to make our images compelling and memorable. Helpful resources and strategies for effectively cropping images include but are not limited to those listed below.
