Setting Boundaries: A Comprehensive Guide to Cropping Photographs
Kas Stone

Cropping is a popular technique that is used to remove extraneous or distracting elements around the edges of a photograph or to change its aspect ratio. However, too often cropping is (mis)used as a remedy for sloppy composition or laziness in the field! In this presentation we explore the role of cropping in our photographic workflow and its impact on an image’s visual design and storytelling. We review methods for calculating appropriate crop dimensions for various print and electronic formats, and technical limitations that must be considered when setting boundaries for our images.

Note: this is general discussion that applies to any image-editing software; it is not a software-specific how-to tutorial.
