Image Cropping
Image cropping is an integral part of photo retouching and product retouching services. It can change the look and feel of an image and its meaning.
Image cropping can be used to improve the composition of an image, remove distractions, or focus on a particular subject. It can also create a more powerful image by emphasizing certain elements.
This photo below is a wonderful illustration of the need for cropping. One might never guess that the background of this photo is a truck window. The bird is sitting on a truck mirror.
When I first look at the photo below, I see the orange light and the mirror and the bird poop on the mirror. So cropping was definitely needed on this photo.
Cropping is easy to do, but you also need a good photo to start with.
- If your original image had a high resolution, cropping might not significantly impact the overall quality.
- However, if you started with a lower-resolution image, the loss of pixels due to cropping could be more noticeable

Thank you 😊
What an improvement over the original photo with the mirror and bird poop. 🙂 I have never seen a Bluebird – I hope to one day.

Thank you very much 😊
I have always considered cropping (introduced composition) is the real art of photography. Knowing what to keep, what to let go and oftentimes sets the overall mood. Great example!
Thank you very much, 😊
Looking at the first shot, I would never have guessed that this bird was sitting on the car mirror.
It almost looks like water behind it to me. 😊
Good that we got to see this dear little bird!
Gwen.
They are so cute. 😊
That bird is stunning 🤩
They are so pretty, that rust color and blue go so well together.
Yes! And I responded before reading the post. I was shocked to realize he wasn’t standing in water!
I know, amazing what cropping an image will do. Backgrounds can change the entire perspective of a photo. 😊
