108 Manipulating Images
Destructive (or permanent) cropping
Destructive (or permanent) cropping can be applied to any image by selecting
the Destructive option on the Crop Tool's context toolbar before applying the
crop.
Applying a permanent crop to your photo will reduce the file size of
your project.
Cropping in destructive mode permanently discards the pixels
outside of the crop area. If your opened photo is cropped and you
then click Save, it will be permanently altered. It's recommended to
save a copy of your photo first and apply the crop to the copy.
Cropping to a selection
You can also crop an image to any
selection area, no matter what shape, as
defined with one of the selection tools.
If the Rectangle or Ellipse Selection Tool
is used, you can make your selection a
Fixed Size, defined in pixels, from the
tool's context toolbar. This crop to pixel
operation is heavily used when creating
precisely dimensioned web graphics or
specific ebook cover dimensions.
Alternatively you can crop to shape (above) by using one of a range of shaped
selections using the QuickShape Selection Tool.
To crop the image to the selection:
Choose Crop to Selection from the Image menu.
If the selection region is non-rectangular, the left-over surrounding region will
be either transparent (on a standard layer) or the current background color (e.g.,
white).
Cropping to the selection affects all image layers. Everything
outside the selected region is eliminated.
