In-Depth Information
The Crop tool's various overlays can help you crop photos in the most visually pleasing way.
Choose an option by clicking one of the Grid Overlay icons in the Tool Options area, either
before or after you've clicked a Crop Suggestion thumbnail or dragged in your image with
the Crop tool (but before you
accept
the crop), and you'll see guidelines that help you decide
where to crop. Here are your options:
▪
None
. This option gives you no visible overlay, just the empty crop box.
▪
Rule of Thirds
. This is the option Elements chooses automatically the first time you use
the Crop tool; it divides the crop area into thirds, both vertically and horizontally.
