How to crop images in GIMP [Quick Tip]
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
There are many reasons you may want to crop an image in [GIMP][1]. You may want to remove useless borders or information to improve your image, or you may want the focus of the final image to be a specific detail for example.
|
||
|
||
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to cut out an image in GIMP quickly and without compromising the precision. Let’s see.
|
||
|
||
### How to crop images in GIMP
|
||

|
||
|
||
#### Method 1
|
||
|
||
Cropping is just an operation to trim the image down to a smaller region than the original one. The procedure to crop an image is straightforward.
|
||
|
||
You can get to the Crop Tool through the Tools palette like this:
|
||
|
||
![Use Crop Tool for cropping images in GIMP][3]
|
||
|
||
You can also access the crop tool through the menus:
|
||
|
||
**Tools → Transform Tools → Crop**
|
||
|
||
Once the tool is activated, you’ll notice that your mouse cursor on the canvas will change to indicate the Crop Tool is being used.
|
||
|
||
Now you can Left-Click anywhere on your image canvas, and drag the mouse to a location to create the cropping boundaries. You don’t have to worry about the precision at this point, as you will be able to modify the final selection before actually cropping.
|
||
|
||
![Crop Selection][4]
|
||
|
||
At this point hovering your mouse cursor over any of the four corners of the selection will change the mouse cursor, and highlight that region. This allows you to now fine-tune the selection for cropping. You can click and drag any side or corner to move that portion of the selection.
|
||
|
||
Once the region is good enough to be cropped, you can just press the “**Enter**” key on your keyboard to crop.
|
||
|
||
If at any time you’d like to start over or decide not to crop at all, you can press the “**Esc**” key on your keyboard.
|
||
|
||
#### Method 2
|
||
|
||
Another way to crop an image is to make a selection first, using the **Rectangle Select Tool**.
|
||
|
||
**Tools → Selection Tools → Rectangle Select**
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
You can then highlight a selection the same way as the **Crop Tool**, and adjust the selection as well. Once you have a selection you like, you can crop the image to fit that selection through
|
||
|
||
**Image → Crop to Selection**
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
#### Conclusion
|
||
|
||
Cropping precisely an image can be considered a fundamental asset for a GIMP user. You may choose which method fits better to your needs and explore its potential.
