Even though cropping is about as simple an image-editing maneuver as you can get, you need to know about a few other options:
-->If you need a nonrectangular cropping marquee, select the Perspective check box in the Options bar. This allows the corner handles to move independently. Cropping with Perspective selected can help to rectify images that have keystone distortion, which occurs when you photograph an image from an angle rather than straight on.
-->The Front Image option enables you to crop one image so that it’s the exact same size as another image. Open two images and crop the first one. Click Front Image. Photoshop enters the width, height, and resolution values from the first image in the Options bar. Drag the Crop tool on your second image and adjust the marquee as desired. Double-click inside the marquee. Photoshop automatically crops your second image to match your first. The Front Image command is also available in the Options bar only before you drag your cropping marquee.
-->If your image doesn’t contain any layers — that is, it consists only of a background — any cropped areas are permanently deleted from your file. However, if your image consists of one or more layers, you have the choice of deleting or hiding your cropped area. Delete eliminates the cropped areas, whereas Hide just hides the cropped area. You can see the cropped area if you move the layer with the Move tool. Another way to see the hidden area is to choose Image➪Reveal All. Photoshop expands the canvas to show all areas in all layers. These options are available only while the crop marquee is active.
-->If you want to crop an image to an exact measurement, enter a value in the Width, Height, and Resolution text boxes in the Options bar. Note that these options are available only when the Crop tool is active and you haven’t yet dragged a cropping marquee. You can still freely drag and adjust the cropping marquee. When you commit the crop, your image matches the physical dimensions you specified. You can enter values in just one, two, or all three options. But again, be careful about the value you use for the Resolution setting. Remember, resampling is not a good thing. To remove the entered settings, click the Clear button in the Options bar.
