Welcome back.
So in this video, we're not going to turn my hair purple or my beard, I promise.
But we are going to talk about the crop tool.
So right here, you can see the crop tool.
You can trim or expand the edges of an image.
OK, so let's do that.
So let's kind of bring this down to ourselves.
A little headroom there and then move this up and kind of give us the shoulder look there and then kind
of center this little more.
I like that guy.
Beautiful.
And then if I grab the.
Magic wand tool.
OK.
I used to use all the time and let's say the salt tolerance, the 32, you can tell I'm old school very
well.
I had to lead and won't let me because I am the layer locks on unlock that hit delete.
There we go.
And then I will do this.
OK.
And then we can set the background to a different color.
So control shift, end.
And what that will do is make a new layer and then bring a below image.
And then you can see there's our background.
Now, again, we have kind of a rough edge there.
But this is not about added in the hair or that.
It's about crop in the image.
And so you can see we cropped it from its original size to that.
So that's really the crop, too.
Or just you can shrink down the image.
We also have the prospective crop tool.
Which you can do at points.
So that will render.
And then I'll give you kind of a funky 3-D kind of deal, which we're not doing 3-D in this course and
undo that guy.
And then we have the sliced tool, which this is more for Web optimization.
So let's say you want to optimize this for the Web.
You could save this as a slice and then converted to like a PMG file.
And then you would you could use it on the Web.
This was kind of an old version, an old version, but an old way to optimize images on the Web.
You would take a Web site layout and you would slice up the layout.
So the navigation, the header, etc, etc. and you'd have all these slices.
And then what you do is you can do the site, the slide selector, and when you save it, it'll save
all the slices separately.
So if I went in here and I did this.
OK.
So if I did, instead of just doing one big slice, I did this instead.
I can move this down.
Thank you.
OK.
So you can see when I move this down, let's say that I just wanted this side over here.
All right.
So I want this right here to be one slice.
OK, then I want.
This were here to be another slice and then this is going to be another slice here.
The point behind doing that is what you're doing is you're slicing up the images to optimize it for
the Web.
So that's really the idea of the size tool for the selection and also the slice itself.
So let's click on the profile picture JPEG.
Let's head file save.
And that is the crop tool, the prospective crop tool, the slice tool and the slice select tool.
So thank you so much for watching and I'll see in the next video.
