Poradnik krok po kroku
Preserve the original
Duplicate the image or use a non-destructive editing copy. Keep the uncropped version available for other uses.
Choose the output shape
Set the crop aspect ratio required by the destination if one is specified. Decide whether the image is meant for a square card, wide banner or portrait view.
Position the subject
Move the crop boundary while keeping important features inside it. Avoid cutting through a product’s key detail or a person’s face accidentally.
Check at the final display size
Preview the crop at a small card size as well as a larger view. Confirm the subject is still recognizable and any useful context remains.
Export a separate copy
Save the cropped version with a descriptive filename. Check the exported dimensions and leave the original unchanged.
Wskazówki i rozwiązywanie problemów
- A crop cannot recover detail that was never captured.
- Allow space for text overlays only when the destination needs them.
