Photos: Cropping

In with the good, out with the bad.

Cropping can turn a good photo into a great one:

Cropping for printing

crop photos

You (and your visitors) can specify cropping in the shopping cart when you place an order. That means you can print the same photo at many different sizes, and choose what part gets printed for each size.

The uncropped original photo will remain safe and sound in your SmugMug gallery.

Cropping for keeps

When you're logged in, you can irreversibly crop any photo on your SmugMug site. This cannot be undone, so crop wisely. Here's how:

  1. Find the Photo Tools Menu underneath the photo you want to crop.
  2. Choose Crop from the list.
  3. Adjust that blue box until you've got it just right.

       - Click the small square in the corner of the box and drag it to change the box's size.

       - Click inside the big box and drag it to move the box to a different part of the photo.

       - To crop to a certain ratio, choose that option on the left, such as 5x7.

  4. Click Save.
