Hi ,

I love Photoshop. But . . .

I’m NOT a fan of the Crop tool. I find it clunky and annoying!

Whew! I’m glad I got that off my chest.

That said, there is at least one super-cool use for the Crop tool that’s often overlooked.

Check out this card that I created lickety split with one of my snapshots.

If I gave you the pretty square flower photo (above), could you figure out how to create the rest of the card I made? How long do you think it would take you to make it? How many steps do you think it would take?

Here’s good news. I created this card in three simple steps and it took me only a couple minutes to accomplish. You can do it, too! Let me show you how.

Have a great week! See you in the galleries.

P.S. Wondering what I use to crop my images instead of the Crop tool? I use the Rectangular Marquee tool. First I select the area I want to keep, then I choose Image > Crop in the Menu Bar. MUCH less clunky!!
