Using Crop Tool
Perspective Crop Tool
Sometimes, we need to work on an image which has some distortion/deformity. It happens when
an object is photographed from a different angle instead of a straight view. This can make a square
look like a trapezoid. With the help of the Perspective Crop Tool, you can stretch or shrink the image.
This tool will also help you to elongate the subject as though you had taken the photo from a different
perspective. Perform the following steps to use the Perspective Crop Tool:
Step 1: Open an image in Photoshop.
Step 2: Select the Perspective Crop Tool from the Tools panel.
Step 3: First, draw the cropping border around the image. You will notice the crop handles and a grid
appears all over the cropped area.
Step 4: Now, start dragging the handle in the top left corner towards the right until the vertical grid
line matches the left side of the image. Also drag the handle in the top right corner towards
the left until the vertical grid line matches the right side of the image.
Step 5: Press the Enter key from the keyboard. This removes the distortion from the image and crops
the image to the selected portion only.

Slice Tool and Slice Select Tool
Slice Tool divides an image or layout into smaller sections called slices which can be exported and
developed separately. This is mainly used for web publications. These small slices can be saved as a
separate file and can be modified using the Save for Web command. The slices created manually are
called user-slices. As we create user-slices, Photoshop automatically divides the rest of the area. Slice
Tool automatically becomes Slice Select tool whenever we hover over a user slice. This allows us to edit
it without having to manually select the Slice Select tool each time.
