98 Manipulating Images
Moving and resizing the grid allows the main subject of your photo (in this case
a big wheel) to be offset and balanced against a foreground or background
feature within the photo (e.g., the sky as background). Position a main item of
interest in the photo where any two lines intersect within the crop grid (four
intersections are possible). This is known as the "rule of thirds" which will help
you find the most balanced composition where your eyes are drawn to the main
subject. Double-click to crop the photo to the outer grid dimensions.
You can also crop an image
to any selection area, no
matter what shape, as
defined with one of the
selection tools. For
example, here’s cropping
applied to a selection
created with a QuickShape
Selection Tool, called the
Thought Selection Tool.
