We all know those times when we have an amazing image. And it just needs a little bit of probing just to be that amazing. And as you know, guys who can probe our images now, even our mobile phones, and actually, it's so easy to crop images in Photoshop as well. So here for instance, we have that amazing image. However, let's say would like to make that one even better. So let's select our crop tool from our toolbar.

You can find that on here, or proceed on keyboard. And let's maybe reduce that sky by clicking and dragging from that side. And let's also direct from the other side as well, making that one wider image. Of course, if you'd like to keep the same ratios for your original image, you can be hovering on any of these corners, and you can start dragging inside while pressing Shift Key as well, to maintain the same aspect ratio of your current probing rectangle. And you might also wonder about those line within our probing rectangle, or that symbol. Great.

Well, simply that good is helping us to achieve that rule of thirds, which is a very known rule in photographs to achieve beautiful images. So instead of placing your main elements in center, you can place them on any third of your image. So here for instance, we can keep resizing or probing rectangle to align that lift line with the road, which might be our main subject in that image. So holding and maintaining shift key and dragging inside. all the way to here doesn't have to be 100%, precise, maybe a little bit too right or left. And also let's align our horizon with that line.

So we can drive or for being green rectangle to that horizon line. Now as you can see, breaking symmetry can be very pleasing to our eyes. And if you would like to apply another ratios instead of rule of thirds, you can be selecting from here from those probing overlays. Actually, you know what guys, I was thinking all the time it's rule of thirds. However, we were using golden ratio, mocked rule of thirds because they look similar to each other. So let me select rule of thirds.

That's how it looks like. And I was using golden ratios in previous design, and Photoshop always remembers your last use settings. So let me select the golden ratio again, because I really think this is what you should use most of the times. At this ratio our eyes love the most. Um, before we crop our image, let's uncheck lead crop pixels, which will allow us to reveal any crop areas anytime after we apply that, so let's go ahead and apply that crop pressing Enter or Return on keyboard. Now this looks amazing, and we can press Command or Control Z to undo that to check our original image.

Then we can press Shift command Z, to redo what we did, or to see our enhanced image, which I really like in that case. Now let's move to another image and see how we can fix that one. So here we have a very nice scene. However, we all have that amazing friend who would be destroying our images by shooting slightly rotated images like that one. For instance, we have an amazing scene, however, we need to save that one I've had to write Of course. So in that case, we can start rotating or probing rectangle by hovering outside of any of these corners and can start dragging right Or left, simply like that.

Or even instead of doing that, let me undo that pressing Command or Control Z. I'm going to be using that amazing option here straight in, then all we need to do is to start defining that horizon line for Photoshop. Simply by drawing a line from here, clicking and dragging. We don't have to cover all the line of course, and data hago. Photoshop is fixing that one for us. And also 10 apply another issue from those presets by clicking on the drop down. So maybe you would like to go for a square you can select one to one square, or maybe five to seven.

And if you would like to be converting that one into a landscape, you can be clicking that swabbing button, maintaining the same aspect ratio as well or you can go back to your freestyle, which is W by h bars illusion, then we can be applying that clicking that comment. Now, let me show you guys another tool and another image as well. So let's select that time. So let's say we would like to extract a pattern out of that image. So if we start using our regular Crop Tool, maybe on those four squares, we're going to be clicking here and dragging. That's not going to only crop them, so to be adding the bar to our image, so instead, let's cancel that pressing escape and selecting the tool.

It's nested beneath our crop tool, and this one is called perspective Crop Tool. You can also cycle between these tools pressing Shift C, so selecting that one. Now we need to please or plain clicking here. And here, basically on our four corners of that square. We can also zoom in to check how precise our points we can reposition them by clicking on any of these points and dragging that one. Now I think this looks nice, pressing return.

Now we almost have that one in a flat to the prospective. Also, here's our last example for that tutorial. Let's say would like to give that one in a flat to the prospective as well. Okay and start placing our points then comments Now you will find that file in your resources if you would like to practice on these images. However, thanks to that amazing friends that we all have, I'm sure you have tons of images of Mike neat growing as well.
