Using the Crop Tool

Request

I would like to crop an image.

Response

The Crop tool allows you to remove areas from the margins of an image with no

regard for aspect ratio (Free Crop), or at a specified aspect ratio (Fixed Aspect

Ratio).Here we will crop an image using the Free Crop setting.

Saving cropped images:

If images are saved in JPEG or TIFF format after cropping, portions of the original image that

were cropped out cannot be restored later. To prevent this, save cropped images using the

Save as… option.

If images are saved in NEF format, crop information is saved with the image. This means

that the original image can be restored at any time.
