Image Cropping
BASICS OF PHOTOSHOP
Image - An image is an artifact that depicts visual perception, for example, a photo or a two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some subject—usually a physical object or a person, thus providing a depiction of it.
Cropping - This changes the number of pixels in an image by "cropping" away the pixels from the surrounding area.In the photo editor Adobe Photoshop an image can be cropped with the Crop tool or the Crop command.
To crop an image with the Crop tool, follow these instructions:
- Step 1. Choose the Crop tool from the Tool Panel or press C
- Step 2. Bring the cursor to a point on the image, where a corner of the cropped image will be, and left-click the mouse.
- Step 3. Moving the cursor diagonally, keep the left mouse button pressed.
- Step 4. Release the left mouse button. A box will appear over the image with marked corners, indicating the area that will be preserved. This box can be moved, resized, and rotated.
- To move the crop box move the cursor completely inside the selected area, press the left mouse button, and while keeping the left mouse button pressed, drag the box.
- To change the size of the selected area move the cursor to one of the corner markers, press the left mouse button and drag the marker. If the cursor is dragged while pressing SHIFT, the size of the box will be changed proportionally.
- To rotate the crop box move the cursor to one of the corner markers and drag the cursor.
- Шаг 5. Press ENTER (RETURN on Macintosh)

- Step 2. Select a rectangular area on the image Selection Tools in Adobe Photoshop).

I'm on the fence about this, while more customization is good, I have a feeling this is a "in-progress" update, it just feels incomplete and half-way there.
ReplyDeleteWe use badge layout for apps on design approvals (visual projects), so the image being displayed is important. Old layout "feels like" it had larger images,
maybe because the images were cropped more loosely so it's easier to tell which project it was at quick glance. Now the image is cropped closer, making it
harder to scan thru at quick glance. I find myself needing to click into the project more often than usual. Which makes the whole user experience less
efficient.
I have a couple suggestions that might make it work better:
1. Increase the height of the window the cover image is being displayed.
2. Let us to choose which image to be displayed as "cover" (like how Pinterest handles cover images of each board, was hoping for this for a long time)
3. Let us adjust which part of the image to show and how tight or loose the crop is (with a fixed window, let us move the image around and maybe enlarge or
shrink it to control what shows thru the window. Pinterest does a limited form of this, which is very useful in making the cover image relevant)
4. Allow Cover Image to be ordered in different hierarchy (currently every element can be ordered differently except the Cover Image, it seems to be stuck
in the 2nd spot, would like the option to set it on another spot in the layout. This one seems like an easy fix, since you guys allow that for every other
element already)
