of these problems in this lesson, and a few others. You'll start by cropping and
straightening the image.

Straightening and cropping the image in Photoshop
You'll use the Crop tool to straighten, trim, and scale the photograph. You can use
either the Crop tool or the Crop command to crop an image. By default, cropping
deletes the cropped pixels.
1.
In the Tools panel, select the Crop tool (
).
Tip
Deselect the Delete Cropped Pixels option if you want to crop
nondestructively, so that you can revise the crop later.
Crop handles appear, and a
cropping shield
covers the area outside the cropping
selection.
