My photo needs cutting (cropping)

Photographers use the Crop Tool to remove bits of the picture that they don't like. It's easy to do but don't forget, a downside of cropping is that you lose pixels, therefore receive a lower resolution. This might negatively impact how large the photo can be printed and still appear sharp. If you've never cropped a photo, here's a good place to start:

• Guided > Basics > Crop Photo. This mode provides step-by step directions on how it works. Otherwise I'd recommend going directly to the Crop Tool located on the Tool Bar.
• Quick/Expert > Tool Bar > Crop Tool (C). Same as above but manual operation.

Once the Crop Tool is selected, a crop marquee (grid) appears over the image. You can also customise the color around the outside of this marquee to make it easier to see (here, it's done in red). Mouse-click one of the marquee edges or corners to resize and reposition...
