crop picture destructive


Recommended Posts

hello,

is it possible to cut a picture destructive? e.g. means that the border of the pic is not aviable again, when i use the crop tool again.

my workflow is: crop the picture (remove red marked area) . use crop tool again to make the canvas bigger, for making a shadow and export it as png.

thx,

wiso

I would use the rectangular marquee tool and select the area I want to keep then Invert the selection and delete the excess. You could use an actual rectangle to easily preview the crop and then turn it into a selection and then invert the selection and delete.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

thank you all,

think one/the easy way is to take the marquee tool and cut the unwanted away - then take the crop tool to make the space around.

(i thought maybe there is a funktion to turn off the undestructive cropping ...)

by the way, has someone an idea or a hint for proportional increase the croping area? so that i get a regular margin around my pic? either a key combination to increase the croping area regular around the pic with one handle dragging nor a possibility to put in numbers, ~ 20% space around the pic.

 

thx again,

regards,

wiso

If you have the Context toolbar showing you can enter in simple formulas like add 120 pixels (2222 px+ 120) after the numbers in there

You have to have it set to the Unconstrained choice. I stay away from % and do times 1 point 2 for a 20 % increase (2222 px * 1.2). This will happen from the centre of the crop.

hallo again,

works great! but in macro recording there is no way to integrate this percentage in croping, isn´t it?

means that it every time i release the macro it adds x1.2to high and length - anywhere how big the picture is?!

(it saves only the "fixed" size wich was recorded)

regards,

wiso
