Reduce Motion
In the Additional Options controls
for the Crop tool (click the gear icon)
you can toggle Auto Center Preview
off. This disables the “image mov-
ing while resizing” behavior that
attempts to keep the crop box
centered.
Tip
Pixel Restoration
Because the cropped pixels were
hidden (instead of deleted), details
were preserved outside the cropped
area. This allows for the image to be
restored. You can choose Image >
Reveal All to restore all hidden
pixels after a crop (provided you left
the Delete Cropped Pixels option
deselected).
5.
Drag a corner to reset the orientation of the crop to portrait,
and set the crop to a better composition for the elephant on the
left. Use the figure as a guide.

Click the Commit button or press Return (Enter). When you're
finished cropping, you may want to click Clear to reset the
tool's default settings.
7.
Press the V key to switch to the Move tool. You can drag the
image within the canvas freely to reposition the crop as needed
(as long as you didn't delete cropped pixels earlier).
