4:26 for the tips

Thank you so much for making this!!! One suggestion: You may want to consider making a second, shorter version of the video that starts at about the 4:00 mark where it shows the right way to crop, after the first part of video that shows the various wrong ways.

The px/in or px/cm selector is to deal with pixel density. The standard for monitor is 72 px/in, but my phone as a resolution 1920x1080 on a 4in screen meaning that it as around 345ppi (pixel per inch).

Stunning tutorial! I've had some issues cropping images. I really appreciate this video!

I've been looking for days to do this. Thanks so much, you're a life saver.

I can't thank you enough! I have searched for months for an answer on exactly how to do this. THANK YOU!!!!

I know you posted this awhile ago and I want to thank you. It is actualy what I needed for my graphic course.

Great tutorial, contrary to the other comments, I'd like to say I found your method of instruction very coherent. I tend to think the same way: Difficult or Unknown Task-->Misconceptions-->Correct Method. However, in some parts it can be a bit excessive. For example, we can deduce that if just setting length give the wrong height, that the works the same the other way around. Otherwise, great, calm narration (can't get much of that these days) and perfectly paced video (quite impatient generally).

Thank you! I was legit struggling for an hour trying to resize a photo. Your video made my night!

Thank you for making this tutorial so easy to follow. I really appreciate the clear explanations and close up/zoomed shots. Very helpful. THANK YOU!

Very very clear, step by step... I have CS6 and just checked and although I've never noticed them before this video, I have the same options you show in CC

Thanks, Phil. This is exactly what I was searching for. This helped so much. Great video. Thanks Again.

Thank you! I forgot how to do this, though I have a box for resolution that I kept the same as the original image. Hope all is well with you and our viewers.

Thank you for the video. I am trying to crop a 4x6 ratio photo to square for Wayfair but i need the whole 6" side of the image and will fill the sides with white. When cropping how do I ensured the photo is cropped in the centre of the new framing. '

Also is there any disadvantage to using the content aware feature when doing this?

Thanks for all the great details.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO. I HAVE WATCHED SO MANY VIDEO ABOUT GETTING MY PHOTOS RESIZED AND YOUR VIDEO IS THE ONLY ON I FOUND VERY INFORMATIVE

Perfect - you saved me so much time & hassle. Great video, thanks.

Great stuff Cheers Phil!

Excellent instruction. You have found your calling. I'm new at this and you made this so easy to follow! Thank you.

Great info..if your doing resize from original photo..but cropped for your own use..how about copping as you like it..but then going to scripts and taking it down to what you need, resizing it to your needs, converting to your format needs and sending it on with one step...Just asking......????

I dont know if you were able to do that back then but basically what you need to do is to use the Rectangular Marquee tool just above the crop tool and type the width and height there. It should select everything by itself and so you copy the selection and crop it out with the crop tool, therefore you need less than a minute to do it.

Thank you! This was exactly what I needed. Very descriptive.

Wow, great video. The title matches the topic, the topic is well covered, and your voice and tonality are outstanding! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this great tutorial!

Hi! Nice video Thank you, but I have a question: I really don't like resampling. I am looking for to crop with resampling. But, is there a way to type the exact size of the crop rectangle instead of using the mouse to adjust the size of the rectangle? (I dont mind what part of the image will be in the resulting picture, my main objective is to preserve the original resolution of the picture without resampling to keep all the original detail intact)

Thank you so much for making this video!!! will save me so much time with making consistent IG photo crops. Cheers

Thank you so much!! Needed this for work.

Thanks, I've been wanting to do that for ages

The Best video about crop in youtube!!!!!! Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great tutorial!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Good info. Thank you!

Your video is Very easy to understand . Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much! You can read viewer’s mind! This is what I exactly need! 👍👍👍

Thank you so much for the very helpful tip!

outstandingly effective. thanks, man.

THANK YOU!!! I had this set up on my old photoshop, but I lost all my presets when I had to upgrade and the little "px" trick was missing and I couldn't get anything to the correct size and ahhhhhhhhhh. thanks

Thank you, exactly what I needed! :))

so there is no way to crop without resampling? i thought photoshop is a professional software

That's almost what I'm looking for. How to do this without resample? If I want to export an exact width x hight at 1:1 pixels, meaning 100% zoom factor. A no brainer in Affinity Photos Export Persona, but how to do this in LrC and/or Ps? Updated right now to the 2022 versions, it's still not there.

Really helpful. Thank You

Thank you, great video!

Thank you. I only have CS 6 and the wxhxres does not appear in the box on CS6. Can anyone help.

thanks for the vid, quick n helpful

perfect clear and informative thank you

Great tip! Thank you.

1:35 I feel your pain! that's exactly the kind of a deal-breaker for me, no crop size on screen, let alone an aspect ratio. One reason I use the old Photoimpact (debugged X3) which has it all.

Thanks alot mate... Really Appreciated

Thanks for saving me a lot of headaches ! Nice vid ! Liked and subbed !

Yeah, but how do I actually crop for a certain resolution? If I have a 4000x6000px image and I want to crop it so only a section of pixels measuring 1920x1080 are showing, surely I can just crop in a certain amount to achieve that without resampling?

Thank you for this

When i change the size to 851 px it pops up an error that the number is wrong and switch back from Px to Cm. What do i do?

Thanks! Great for making podcast album covers.

Wait, what app do you use? I am confuzzeled I know this was posted almost 4 years ago but please help.

Can´t do it in CC2020. Do you know how to do it? Can´t choose px or either write it... Thanks!

What editing platform is this?

Thanks Phil

thank you thank you thank you!!! I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to make KZfaq Thumbnails for my videos & this tip worked perfectly!! So dumb that you have to type px in there, I kept typing 1280 by 720 and didn't realize it defaults to inches!!!

Thanks so much!

Hi how can a make a photo with 3000px X 3000px

brilliant! thanks!

What is the app?

THANK YOU

Good tips, thanks for the video! Here's some additional workflow options to consider: 1. Change Background to a Layer by Double-clicking or Right-click for the "Layer from Background", etc. 2. Resize Image Size closer to the size you want, or leave as is. 3. Change Canvas Size to your desired dimensions. 4. Since canvas size was adjusted, and the image is on a Layer, you can now move, resize, etc. the picture within the framed area. For resizing, select Marquee / Lasso tool and Right-click on the image for Free Transform, hold Shift to keep proportions. 5. If you uncheck "Delete Cropper Pixels" while using the Crop tool, in a way it's the same as using the Canvas Size adjusting. Couple advanced tips: 11. Depending on your computer resources, needs, you could consider turning the Background / Layer to a Smart Object by Right-clicking and selecting "Convert to Smart Object". 12. Smart Object keeps the picture (before the conversion) as the source, and you can resize etc. all you wish and it'll be resampled on the fly. Smaller, bigger, the pixels will show up, the information is retained. 13. If you apply any Filters such a Unsharp Mask to a Smart Object, you can adjust / remove it anytime afterwards. It basically turns normal filters into adjustment layers. You can resize the image, the settings stay, it's all good. 14. Double-click on the thumbnail of the Smart Object or go to Layer menu -> Smart Objects -> Edit Contents to access it's contents. Editing the insides you can do any normal PS functions, mask, adjustment layers, additional layers, etc. and they'll stay embedded. Fair to say, it's an image within a image. Of the possibilities, for example you can have masks on the contents and additional mask on the Smart Object itself, etc. 15. Right-click the Smart Object and select "Rasterize Layer" if you want to turn it into a normal pixel layer. This collapses the content and effects, basically merging it into a simple layer. Have a good day now!

Great Video

Thank You!

Amazing....

Or another way to crop something to an exact size is to use the rectangular marquee tool. You select it, then at the top you can set the style to "fixed size", then put in the width and height you want. What you get is a box that stays the exact size you want, so you move it over the portion you want to keep, then go to Image -> Crop. But I don't think the results are as good as you get with the crop tool because it doesn't allow you to adjust the size of the box, which adjusts resolution.

I have a set of 30 images that need to be cropped to a specific size, and there's no way I can find to do that with the crop tool. As you're demonstrating, the crop tool lets you select a *resulting* height and width. But it doesn't let you specify a specific *starting* height and width for the crop box. There are so many options in the Photoshop crop tool, yet they all apply to the aspect ratio--not a starting out size.

thank you!

What if you want the whole picture just the right size?

Thanks for this video! Finally able to crack the code on this frustrating issue. God bless.

Thnx so much!
