Cropping is a very important technique when editing photos. However, a lot of the times, when you crop something, and the crop is done incorrectly, the image is ruined. Luckily, there is a way to crop without ruining an image. This way, if you make a mistake, you can easily readjust.

In Photostop, you are first going to want to create a new layer, place it on the top, and then fill it with black. Then switch to full screen mode. Once you have done this, you will need to bring up the layers panel by pressing F7.

Click on the eyeball icon you see on the layer that you just made black in order to make this layer invisible. Next you are going to need to select the marquee tool and draw a rectangle where you want the crop to be.

Add a layer mask to the layer that you made black and then invert it. Once you have done that, you will need to click the anchor icon that shows up between the layer and the layer mask. Next, simply press and release “V” key and click and drag to move your marquee around to adjust your crop.

Remember, if you plan on printing your image, change the black to white. The white won’t get printed but the black will.
