Photoshop 7 Croping

>Open "My Computer" from your desktop. Double-click your hard drive.
>Open "Documents and Settings."
>Open the folder labeled with your user name.
>Open "Local Settings" followed by "Temp."
>Scroll down to the files beginning with "Photoshop" ("PS" for older Photoshop CS builds). This will be followed by a series of letters and numbers.
>Double-click each "Photoshop" ("PS") temp file to open them in Photoshop CS. This is the only way to identify which temp file contains the project you wish to recover. Luckily, because when Photoshop shuts properly it deletes its temp files, there should be no more than three or four.
>Select "Save As" from the "File" menu when you find the temp file you want. This will make the file permanent.

Hi

You don't say which operating system you are using.

Photo Editing requires Photo Editing Software.

To do basic photo editing (cropping, rotating, flipping, adjust brightness, adjust contrast, adjust image size, adjust colo(u)r, adjust exposure, adjust size, adjust red eye) you can use free, built-in software that comes bundled with Windows and Microsoft Office such as: Paint, Microsoft Picture Viewer and Windows Photo Gallery.

In increasing order of editing functions:

Windows Photo Gallery: Fix > Auto Adjust, Adjust Exposure, Adjust Colour, Crop Picture, Fix Red Eye

Microsoft Office Picture Viewer: Picture > Brightness & Contrast, Colour, Crop, Rotate, Flip, Red Eye Removal, Resize, Compress.

Paint: Image > Flip/Rotate, Resize/Skew, Crop, Invert Colours, Adjust Attributes, Clear Image, Opaque.

In Paint you can also use additional tools to manipulate the image or add or delete shapes, text and colour (with a selection of writing or drawing implements): Free Form Select, Select, Fill with Colour, Magnifier, Brush, Text, Curve, Polygon, Rounded Rectangle, Ellipse, Rectangle, Line, Airbrush, Pencil, Pick Colour, Eraser/Colour Eraser.

In Windows Photo Gallery you can view and edit the same image in either of these 3 programs by clicking Open.

For more advanced photo editing, you can use the bundled software that comes with digital cameras such as:

Adobe Photoshop Elements

ACDSee

Picasa

Photo Studio

For more advanced, professional standard photo editing you must buy expensive Photo Ediiting and Graphic Design software such as:

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe LightRoom

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe InDesign

CorelDRAW

Corel Painter


I hope this helps.

1. Select Crop tool
2. Select Resolution
3. Type in 300
4. Crop whole picture as desired
5. Click done
6. Then Save file as jpeg
7. Make sure max quality is on
8. Then click okay

There should be a crop button at the top, where the tools are, just hover over them till you see Crop. Click it, it will then ask you to select an area that you want, basically, it gets rid of the rest of the photo not selected by you. Hope this helps.
Here is a link to "How to Use Adobe Photoshop CS3"
http://www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/cs3-photoshop-10.html

To resize an image with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 you first need to open the image. After opening the image you will select Image---> Resize---> Image Size. If you select canvas size the image itself will not change.
At the Image Size menu, make sure that the "resample" check box at the bottom of the menu is selected. Then enter the desired resolution and width/height. For printing an image, a resolution of 300 pixels/inch or more is desirable. When images are intended for computer or web display, 72 pixels/inch (sometimes referred to as dpi) is sufficient. You can set the image size in pixels (at the top of the menu) or in inches (at the lower part of the menu). Once the desired sizes are entered you only need to press "ok" for the change to be made.
Photoshop Elements also offers another method of resizing an image. You can use the "crop" function to resize your image quickly. The crop tool looks like a small square with overlapping edges and can also be accessed through the Image menu bar at the top of your screen.

Once the crop tool options bar opens, select "custom" and then enter the desired height/width and resolution. To crop to specific pixels you must enter the letters "px" after the size number in the width/height boxes. If only one dimension is important you can enter information in only one box and let the other dimension be determined purely by where you place the crop line.

After entering your preferences you will click and drag the crop tool across the image to select the part of the image you wish to keep.

7) now the final step is Open any cool background image which you wan to put in the background of your pictures, Open it in photoshop, press Ctrl+A(select all command) and paste in the new canvas, make sure to drag the background layer in bottom of all layers, and transform if you want to change its size using ctrl+T,

Tadah!!!!

I have made it in hurry, so sorry for the rough edges in picture :)
Enjoy!

Open - Window - Action. Click on arrow on top right. Create New Action name it, and record an action by cropping one of the images.
Go to File - Automate - Batch. And choose folder with images you want to crop.

sure..check your scaling settings in photoshop, which is based on the size of the paper you're using.

Most digital cameras have an aspect ratio of 4x3. 35mm cameras have an aspect ratio of 3x2. 6x4 photopaper also has an aspect ratio of 3x2. Therefore you don't get cropping when printing from 35mm film. To make the picture fill out the 6 inches, the digital footprint has to be 6" by 4.5". So .5 inches is removed in the process. If you can find a processor that will print 5.333 x 4 on the 6 x 4 paper, there would be no clipping necessary. Since you have Photoshop, you can crop the photo to a 3 x 2 ratio. That way you control what is cut. I use Photoshop Elements and when I use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, I set Style to "Fixed Aspect Ratio" and Width to 3, and Height to 2.
