Not many images are taken Exactly as we all want them, so therefore could
benefit from a slight crop, or maybes you need to resize for a forum ( EG.
Gosnap having the 700max pixel restriction)This is a very easy way i have found
to crop an image with set dimensions or pixel size.
first of all select the crop tool as shown below
Then across the top bar underneath the main menus type in your dimensions for
your final image, whether it be inches, cm or pixels. for cm type space them cm
after the number, for inches type space and in and for pixel size type space and
px after the numbers.
for this image i have also set the resolution to 400 as that is what my lab
uses for printing. This is personal to everyone.
for this image i have chosen 500 px by 700px, as i would for Gosnap gallery.
Draw the ants box around the required space for cropping, if it isn't quite in
the right place, you can use the keyboard arrow keys to move it to the correct
place.
Right click on the area and press enter to select.
you final image is now set to the correct dimensions .
