Cropping Recap

The cropping video presented seven different types of cropping: hard crop, soft crop, split crop, stick out crop, knockout crop, shape crop and false crop. Hard crop is the most common type of crop, which involves cropping from either the bottom, top, sides, or all of the above. A soft crop is used when we want to feather the edges or make the edges "soft." The split crop splits the image in two. The shape crop is when we crop the selected image with a shape, such as a circle.  Cropping is all about line, shape and value. The rule of thirds and line of sight are two things that should come to mind when cropping. It is also important to note that we assign people visual weight in images. We can crop for utility and we can crop for expression. Cropping can create a lot of strength. We needto find the "descriptive slice" that will express the tone we are trying to set.
