Cropping using Photoshop

In photography, standard sizes have always been in inches. Although today most people are using digital cameras, these standard sizes are still around so this quick guide helps you use the tools in Photoshop to crop and save your file for standard paper formats.

You can use the aspect ratio settings in the crop tool in Photoshop to crop your image to the aspect ratio of the paper size you require. For example, for a 10 x 8 print you could set the aspect ratio to 10 x 8.



You can set the exact size and resolution of your image (see the Technical Help calculator for the exact resolution of each paper type and size) and use the crop tool to select the area you want to print.



Once you are happy with your new image click enter and remember to save the file with a new name using Save> Save as.
