Cropping Cropping in photography refers to the process of removing unwanted parts of an image to improve composition, framing, or visual impact. It involves selecting a portion of the original image and discarding the rest, resulting in a tighter or more focused composition. Cropping can be used to eliminate distractions, improve balance, enhance subject prominence, or change the aspect ratio of the image. It is a fundamental editing technique used by photographers to refine and optimize the composition of their photographs. Cropping can be performed manually using editing software or camera controls, or automatically using preset aspect ratios or cropping guides. |
