Author Crop large image question
kelly

I run into this problem often and never really knew how to deal with it so I
would like to ask the question.
If I have a large image and I need to crop it to a fixed size, but some of
the image will be omitted if I did so, how can I do this?? How can I get the
whole image from border to border on a crop? I need to somehow shrink the
image first!

I gather you cannot see the whole picture?
On WindoZe hit the maximize icon.
Then Go to View - Fit on Screen (or press control o)

You can see the whole thing, crop as you please.

OR if I misunderstand - if you know the pixels measure of the long size, try
File - Automate - Fit Image.

(Hope I guessed the problem right)

Cropping by it's very nature removes part of the image. That's what
cropping is.

You simply want to resize? In CS2 go to Image/Image Size.

It's a compromise as something has to be lost if its a crop otherwise it
would just be a resize and nothing would be lost. So you have to decide
whats important in the image, once you have decided that you have 3
choices.
You can resize the image to the width dimention required and crop usualy
lossing some of the hight at the bottom or top or you can resize to the
hight and lose some from the left or right when you finaly make the crop.

The third and Last is not a crop at all but to create a new blank image of
the dimentions you would require the crop to be then copy over your image
and move it around to get the area you need in view.

Use the options in the crop tool bar

Your dimensions (height x width) at DPI (pixels)

then cropping will keep to your required proportions, with minimal loss
of image.
