TIP: Flipping Your Crop Horizontal/Vertical
Want to flip the cropping border after you've clicked-and-dragged it out, so you can crop
your wide photos with a tall crop that maintains the same aspect ratio (or vice versa)? Just
press the letter X on your keyboard.
Step Eight:
So far, we've looked at the standard way of cropping—click on the tool and then drag the
handles where you want them—but you can also use the freestyle way of cropping (like in
previous versions of Photoshop) by taking the Crop tool itself and just clicking-and-drag-
ging over the area you want to crop (as shown here). Don't let it freak you out that there's
a cropping border already in place—just click-and-drag it out, and when you release the
mouse button, it will display your new cropping border. Of course, now you can tweak the
handles just like before. If you go back and look at the original image in Step One, you'll
see how much we've already cropped away (it's quite a bit).
