This was one of the easiest things to learn in Photoshop. Cropping and resizing the image is a fundamental thing, but it makes a lot of difference. I click on the image using the Crop tool, and if I look at the top of the screen, there’s a box titled “Ratio”, which I click to change the height and width of the image. For instance, if I pick 4 : 5 (8 : 10), the size of the image will change for that is meant for the ratio I select. 4 : 5 (8 : 10) will make the image size larger in height but shorter in widths. All of the ratios are pretty much the same, except the 1 : 1 (square) makes the image having the same width & height. Users could also type the ratio in the two boxes which have the right & left arrow in between them. It’s adjacent to the Ratio box on the right. The “Content-Aware” Crop was my favorite part of the project. When it’s checked, it allows me to extend the image only to make it more realistic, but also to make it more refined and add more information. With the Crop tool selected, I extended the top of the image and clicked on the check mark at the top. It took time so I waited for a bit until it’s done. I also did with the right & left side as well, and I was amazed how my image turned out it be. It was incredible. I’ve wanted to save both images, the start and the finished one, but they were basically the same so I couldn’t.
